On April 12, 1952, the Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) drafted the Declaration of Universal Principles for Children, to protect them from inequality and abuse. On this occasion, it was agreed that each country should set a date to celebrate its children. The Bolivian government, in 1955, during the presidency of Victor Paz Estenssoro by Supreme Decree 04017 of April 11, 1955, instituted April 12 as Children's Day.
In 2013 by Law 357 of April 13, Supreme Decree 04017 was abrogated and April 12 was instituted as Children's Day in the Plurinational State of Bolivia. This change arose at the initiative of the Parliamentary Network for Children and Adolescents with the aim of making visible the situation of Bolivian girls, their needs and the specific care they require to achieve their right to gender equality and equity.
