World Children's Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children's Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare.
Bangladesh Children's day is celebrated on March 17th and is better known as 'National Child Day". Like in India, it also marks the birth date of a well-known personality, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who is regarded as the Nation’s founding father.. It was celebrated from 1996 to 2000. But it has changed since the 2000s, the Bangladesh government now celebrates it on November 20. It isn't considered as a holiday but to spread awareIess of child rights.
Celebrations are organised in the form of parades and rallies in which children take part and dress in colourful clothing, with events organised throughout this special day celebrating the history of Bangladesh, as well as the importance of its children and the role they play in the nation’s future.
