Important Days

International Missing Children's Day is an international day celebrated on May 25th, the same day as the United States' National Missing Children's Day designated by Ronald Reagan in 1983. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the issue of missing children, highlighting the efforts made to find and bring them back safely, and supporting the families affected by these tragedies.


      It was started in 1998 as a joint venture of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) and the US's National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

      In 2001, the tribute spread worldwide through the efforts of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), European Commission, and Missing Children Europe.
