Children’s Day in Bangladesh is celebrated on March 17 as a tribute to the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who was born on this day in 1920 in Tungipara of Gopalganj.
Since 2009, the day has been celebrated throughout Bangladesh
by engaging youth and creating awareness about children’s rights.
Bangabandhu had made the primary education free for students
in Bangladesh, while made the secondary education free for girls. With a view
to protecting the rights of children, Bangabandhu enacted the children law in
1974, even much before 1989 when the United Nations took such an initiative.
