Introduce an annual remembrance day for children killed in wars and conflicts

Closed 61 signatures

What the petition asks

We have days to remember military losses and losses of victims of the Holocaust. We would like the Government to introduce a remembrance day to remember the innocent children who have been killed in wars and conflicts. We hope this could then become a global day of remembrance started by Britain.
I remember when the UK's annual Holocaust Memorial Day was established by the Government in 2001. Government support for a new remembrance day for innocent children killed in wars and conflicts would help the idea to be taken seriously. I think my idea would be welcomed by the British people and the world.
