Children's Day in Myanmar
Children's Day in Myanmar is held on February 13. This event in the second decade of the month February is annual.
At the beginning of the 1960s, Myanmar was one of the most prosperous nations in southern Asia. Since 1962, however, it has been governed by a military junta, and has in the process become one of the poorest countries in the world. Not surprisingly, very little respect is shown for children’s rights.
