World Consumer Rights Day – 15th March

 

🌍 World Consumer Rights Day – 15th March

Fairness • Transparency • Protection • Informed Choices

World Consumer Rights Day is observed globally on 15th March each year to raise awareness about consumer rights, protection, and fair trade practices. The day was inspired by a landmark speech delivered in 1962 by John F. Kennedy, who formally addressed consumer rights as a key public concern.

Consumer rights protect every individual—
because everyone is a consumer.

🛍️ Why 15th March Matters
