World Day of War Orphans
January 6 All day
World Day of War Orphans is observed annually on January 6, dedicated to raising awareness about children who have lost one or both parents due to armed conflict. This day highlights the struggles these children face from physical and psychological trauma to social and educational challenges and calls for global action to support their protection, care, and future opportunities.
The day was initiated by the French organization SOS Enfants en Détresse to shine a light on the urgent needs of war-affected children.
