Once a year, on June 4th, the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression is acknowledged. It is a painful reminder of the torture and suffering that children who are victims of physical, mental, or emotional abuse encounter. The United Nations organized this day in 1982 to spread knowledge about the rights of children that are being violated in conflict areas and to support efforts to secure those rights. To stop violence against children and to provide a secure and supportive environment for their growth and development, it highlights the necessity of international collaboration. These inspirational sayings underline how important it is to protect kids from violence and aggression.
