What started as a demonstration by black Students in Soweto , South Africa way back in 1976 has come to be a global event . The students by then were protesting against issues related to government-sanctioned apartheid within the student community.

In 1991 , the African Union designated June 16th as the Day of the African Child. The day is also known as International Day of the African Child . The same day is referred to as “Youth Day “ in South Africa.
