International Children's Day - 1 June



The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland, proclaimed June 1 to be International Children's Day in 1925. It is usually marked with speeches on children's rights and wellbeing, and other events involving or dedicated to children.

A similar event, Universal Children's Day, falls on 20 November. It was established by the United Nations in 1954 and aims to promote the welfare of children around the world.

born from a
womb of
misfortune
living hungry
hands stretched
out.for a few
coins children
held captive
in a cocoon
watching
enviously
the rich mans
child licking
an ice cream
holding a
colorful baloon

mother pays
protection money
to beg on the streets
to the cops the local
goon..misery sorrow
caught in a cosmic
vortex of pain that
wont go soon

roti kapda makan
chulu bhar pani
aur kapda dhone
ka saboon ..
