Hyderabad: In recent decades, children have been the biggest victims of terrorist attacks and wars across the world. A larger population is unaware that the children who are victims of war also suffer mental and physical abuse. Children are the most vulnerable even during the smallest breakouts of armed conflict, and therefore they suffer the most.
In general, the events observed by the United Nations are usually related to health, but some of these events are also dedicated to children. One such event is the 'International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression'. Initially observed for the child victims of war, its purpose was later expanded to include active efforts to protect children who are physically, mentally and emotionally abused across the world.
This day is also considered a platform for the ratification of the United Nations Resolution for the Protection of the Rights of the Child, which began on August 19, 1982, when the children of Palestine and Lebanon became victims of war violence due to Israeli violence and Palestine called on the United Nations to take action. In remembrance of this violence against children, the UN General Assembly observes the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression on June 4.
