The International Day of Happiness is celebrated annually on March 20th to promote happiness as a universal human right and to raise awareness about the importance of happiness and well-being in people's lives around the world.
- The day was first observed in 2013 following a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly, which recognized the pursuit of happiness as a fundamental human goal.
- The International Day of Happiness aims to encourage individuals, organizations, and governments to take action to promote happiness and well-being, and to address the underlying social and economic factors that contribute to happiness and life satisfaction.
- The day also serves as a reminder that happiness is not only a personal matter but also a collective one, and that our happiness is connected to the happiness of others.
