TOPIC : WORLD CONSUMER DAY

World Consumer Rights Day, now often referred to as World Consumer Day, has its roots in an event that occurred on March 15, 1962. On this day, President John F. Kennedy of the United States addressed the issue of consumer rights in a special message to the US Congress. In his speech, Kennedy outlined the basic consumer rights that he believed should be respected and protected, including the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose, and the right to be heard. Kennedy's message marked a significant moment in the history of consumer rights advocacy, as it brought widespread attention to the need for greater protections for consumers in the marketplace. Following Kennedy's speech, consumer organizations around the world began to push for stronger consumer rights and protections. In 1983 the first World Consumer Rights Day was observed, marking the anniversary of Kennedy's speech. Since then, March 15th has been recognized annually as a day to raise awareness about consumer rights and to advocate for the fair treatment of consumers worldwide. Each year, World Consumer Day focuses on a specific theme or issue relevant to consumer rights. These themes often address pressing concerns in the global marketplace, such as product safety, fair trade practices, digital rights, and environmental sustainability. The day is typically marked by various events, campaigns, and initiatives organized by consumer advocacy groups, government agencies, and other stakeholders.
World Consumer Day serves as an important reminder of the importance of protecting consumer rights and promoting a fair and equitable marketplace for all.
