the international children's day (icd) is celebrated in numerous countries usually (but not always) on june 1 each year
the icd had its origin in the world conference for the wellbeing of children in geneva switzerland in 1925 it is not clear as to why june 1 was chosen as the icd one theory has it that the chinese consulgeneral in san francisco (usa) gathered a number of chinese orphans to celebrate the dragon boat festival in 1925 which happened to be on june 1 that year and also coincided with the conference in geneva
june 1 has since been observed as the icd by numerous countries especially by communist countries in the western world the icd is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all) and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations (see the section on germany below for further discussions) consequently there is sometimes a misperception that june 1 as the icd was a communist invention nonetheless in recent years even some groups within the united states started observing the icd on june 1
