June- Anti Child Labour Day
Anti-Child
Labour Day is observed on 12 June every year. The ILO - International
Labour Organization, the UN body which regulates the world of work
initiated this observance in the year 2002. Trafficking happens in
nearly all countries of the world. As a result, more than 1.2 million
children are living away from their homes and families with people
who force them to work. The
World Day Against Child Labour provides an opportunity to gain
further support of individual governments and that of the ILO social
partners, civil
society and others,
including schools,
youth and woman's
groups as well as the media,
in the campaign
against child labour.Under international law, trafficking is a crime. Through coercion, deception, and the threat or use of violence, people are forced into a range of exploitative work. Where children are concerned, it makes no difference if they leave voluntarily or are coerced -- where there is movement of children in order to use them as unpaid, or minimally waged labour, there is trafficking.
Trafficking is not a single action rather, it is a series of events that takes place in the child's home community, at transit points and at final destinations. Whenever a child is relocated and exploited, it is trafficking. And those who contribute to it - recruiters, middlemen, document providers, transporters, corrupt officials, employers and service providers - are all traffickers.

June- World Elder Abuse
Awareness Day
Awareness Day
According
to World Health Organization - 'Elder abuse is a single, or repeated
act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship
where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress
to an older person.' The term 'Elder Abuse' does not include general
criminal activity against older persons, such as "muggings"
in the street or "distraction burglary", where a stranger
distracts an older person at the doorstep while another person enters
the property to steal. In the last quarter of the 20th century, abuse
of the elderly remained a private matter, well hidden from public
view. Today, it is increasingly being seen as an important problem
and one that is likely to grow as many countries experience rapidly
ageing populations.
It is predicted
that by the year 2025, the global population of those aged 60 years
and older will more than double, from 542 million in 1995 to about
1.2 billion. Information on the extent of abuse in elderly
populations is scant. The few population-based studies that have been
conducted suggest that between 4% and 6% of elderly people have
experienced some form of abuse in the home. The elderly are also at
risk of abuse in institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes and
other long term care facilities. In a survey in the United States,
for example, 36 % of nursing-home staff reported having witnessed at
least one incident of physical abuse of an elderly patient in the
previous year, 10% admitted having committed at least one act of
physical abuse themselves, and 40% said that they had psychologically
abused patients.
The celebration
aims at promoting a better understanding of abuse and neglect of
older persons by organizing activities around the world to raise
awareness of the cultural, social, economic and demographic processes
affecting elder abuse and neglect. Activities include public
education and awareness through publication and distribution of
Information Kit, speeches, special radios & televisions
programmes, articles and interviews in newspapers etc.
June 19 DAY OF READING
19 June is
annually as Vayanadinam (Day of Reading) with a week-long
series of activities at schools and public institutions to honour the
contributions of P.N. Panicker,who is known as the Father of the
Library Movement in Kerala to the cause of literacy, education
and library movement.
Puthuvayil Narayana Panicker

Amma at Neelamperoor in Alappuzha District. A teacher by profession,
he started Sanadanadharmam Library in his birthplace in 1926.
Though his formal education had not reached high levels, he could do
to society much more than many who were highly educated in his times.
Panicker took leadership in forming
Thiruvithaamkoor Granthasala Sangham (Travancore Library
Association) in 1945 with 47 rural libraries. The slogan of the
Sangham was “Read and Grow”. Later, with the formation of Kerala
State in 1956, it became Kerala Granthasala Sangham (KGS). He
traveled across the villages of Kerala propagating the message of
reading and inviting active involvement of people. He succeeded in
bringing about 6000 libraries into this network. Grandhasala Sangham
won the prestigious ‘Krupsakaya Award’ from UNESCO in 1975. He
was the General Secretary of Sangham for 32 years, until 1977, when
the Sanghom was taken over by the Kerala State Government. Now it is
called the Kerala State Library Council, with an in-built democratic
structure and funding from the State Government.

International Day of Yoga by the United Nations General
Assembly on December 11, 2014. Yoga, a 6,000+-year-old physical,
mental and spiritual practice having its origin in India (Bharat),

Prime Minister, Narendra Modi during his address to UN General
Assembly on September 27, 2014
The
origins of Yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian
traditions, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth
centuries BCE, in ancient India's ascetic circles, which are also
credited with the early sramana movements. The chronology of earliest
texts describing yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to
Hindu Upanishads and Buddhist Pāli Canon, probably of third century
BCE or later. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali from first half of
1st millennium CE is one of a key surviving major texts on Yoga.
