6.1儿童节（International Children's Day）的由来

International Children's Day, also known as Children's Day, is to protect children's rights to survival, health care, and education in all countries in the world. In order to improve children's lives, it is to oppose the killing of children and poisoning children.

六一国际儿童节（International Children's Day），又称儿童节，是保障世界各国儿童的生存权、保健权和受教育权，为了改善儿童的生活，为了反对虐杀儿童和毒害儿童的节日。

At the International Conference on Child Welfare held in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1925, the International Association for the Promotion of Child Happiness first proposed the concept of "Children's Day" and called on countries to establish their own children's days. The initiative has been endorsed by many countries around the world.

1925年在瑞士日内瓦召开的关于儿童福利的国际会议上，国际儿童幸福促进会首次提出了“儿童节”的概念，号召各国设立自己的儿童纪念日。该倡议得到世界许多国家的赞同。

Most countries are usually set on June 1 of each year, so it is usually referred to as the International Children's Day.

大多数国家通常定为每年的6月1日，所以通常称六一儿童节为国际儿童节。

Many countries at that time expressed their support for socialist countries in particular. Many countries in the world have designated June 1 as a holiday for children, especially in socialist countries. The dates of Children's Day in Europe and the United States are different and there are often few public celebrations. Therefore, some people misunderstood that only socialist countries designated June 1 as International Children's Day.

当时的很多国家表示赞同特别是社会主义国家。世界上许多国家都将6月1日定为儿童的节日尤其是在社会主义国家。在欧美国家儿童节的日期各不相同而且往往很少举行社会公众性的庆祝活动。因此有人误解为只有社会主义国家才将6月1日定为国际儿童节。

In order to protect the rights of children around the world. In November 1949, the International Federation of Democratic Women held an executive committee in Moscow and decided to use June 1 of each year as International Children's Day.

为了保障全世界儿童的权益。1949年11月国际民主妇女联合会在莫斯科召开执委会决定将每年6月1日作为国际儿童节。 

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 consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be onune 1 th at 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 sect ion on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperc eption 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.
