Juvenile Prevention Day is observed in Ukraine every July 8, commemorating the establishment of the Criminal Militsiya for Children in 1995. This professional holiday honors juvenile police officers who are responsible for protecting children's rights and preventing juvenile delinquency. The juvenile police units are involved in a range of activities, including preventing and investigating offenses against children, combating bullying, and supporting families in crisis. They also play a crucial role in searching for missing children and assisting those from internally displaced families, especially since the onset of the full-scale war in Ukraine. On this day, the contributions of juvenile police officers are recognized, highlighting their commitment to safeguarding the well-being of children.
