The United Nations designated 5 June as World Environment Day to highlight that the protection and health of the environment is a major issue, which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world.

Children are the weakest link in society, so they must be given the ultimate protection. 607 million young children in the world are living without full legal protection. Worldwide, around 300 million children experience violent discipline by their caregivers regularly. 250 million are punished by physical means and 9 million girls were exposed to sexual violence every year. Ipokrate is observing this day to support those children and to say to offenders: children deserve to enjoy a peaceful life and they have the right to, stop offending children.
