The Day of the African Child is celebrated every year on June 16th since 1991, when it was designated by the African Union to honor the contributions of the children who participated in the protests in Soweto, South Africa, in 1976 and to raise awareness in the community about the importance of quality education for children.
On June 16, 1976, thousands of children in South Africa gathered in the town of Soweto for a protest aimed at demanding better education. Hundreds of children were shot and killed, and more than a thousand were injured.
Every year on June 16, nations, various communities, international organizations, and various stakeholders gather to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing children in Africa.
