World Consumer Rights Day 2022: Date, Theme And Significance Of The Day

World Consumer Rights Day: This day is celebrated all across the world to cater to the concept of consumer rights and protection.

World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated on March 15 globally to acknowledge and recognise the rights of consumers. The main motive of the day is to encourage more awareness and knowledge-gathering on consumer rights across the world. Simply put, consumers must know when to raise their voice against any purchase of a product or service if they feel that they are being cheated.

This day also signifies the empowerment of consumers who should be able to identify market abuses and take action to ensure a safe and sustainable marketplace for everyone.

While speaking at the US Congress on March 15, 1962, former US president John F Kennedy passed on a message about consumer rights and that's where the inspiration for this day came from. In 1983, the inaugural World Consumer Rights Day was marked. It has been observed on the 15th of March every year since then.
