Space flight of the first woman-cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova
June 16, 1963
Valentina Tereshkova - the world's first woman astronaut.
June 16, 1963 Valentina Tereshkova on the spacecraft Vostok-6 made a flight into space. She became the sixth Soviet cosmonaut.
At the same time in orbit was the Vostok-5 spacecraft, piloted by cosmonaut Valery Bykovsky.
On the day of the first space flight, she told her family that she was going to parachute competitions. They learned about the flight from the news on the radio.
Colonel Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin, who was engaged in the selection and training of cosmonauts, recalled: "Everyone who saw Tereshkov during the preparation for launching and putting the ship into orbit, who listened to her reports on the radio, unanimously declared that she had started better than Popovich and Nikolayev. Yes, I am very glad that I was not mistaken in choosing the first woman-cosmonaut. "
Tereshkova quite seriously suffered a flight. However, despite the nausea and physical discomfort, she sustained 48 turns around the Earth and spent almost three days in space, where she kept a logbook and took photographs of the horizon, which later were used to detect aerosol layers in the atmosphere.
After Tereshkova, the second woman flew into space only after 19 years. She became Svetlana Savitskaya.
The day was established at the initiative of the United Nations and aims to recognize the significant financial contribution that migrant workers make not only to the well-being of their remaining families, but also to the sustainable development of their countries of origin.
For the first time, the International Family Remittance Day was celebrated on June 16, 2015 at the opening of the Fifth Global Forum on Remittances and Development in Milan with the participation of more than 400 government officials, representatives of the private sector and leaders of civil society.
In 2016, more than eighty remittance operators supported the holding of the International Family Remittance Day and pledged to do their utmost to earn hard-earned money, be it dollars, euros, pounds, rubles, yen, dinars or nairas sent home, to have the maximum return.
In 2017, the Day was supported by 22 UN organizations within the Global Migration Group.
Every year on June 16, at the initiative of the Organization of African Unity, International Day of the African Child is celebrated.
For the first time, the holiday was celebrated in 1991, and since then the main theme of the Day has been to draw the attention of the world community, children's and medical organizations, as well as politicians around the world to the problems of African children and to the conditions of their daily lives.
The date of the International Day of the African Child was chosen in connection with the tragic events that occurred on June 16, 1976 in South Africa. On that day, thousands of black schoolchildren took to the streets of a settlement on the southwestern outskirts of Johannesburg - Soweto - with demands to improve the quality of school education and defend the right to study in their native language.
Hundreds of young Africans were shot by government security forces. Over the next two weeks, more than a hundred people were killed and more than a thousand injured. Official data reported that from June 16, 1976 to February 28, 1977, during the uprising, as a result of police shootings, 575 people died and about 6 thousand people were arrested.
In 2011, during the Day’s events, it was decided to pay special attention to the plight of street children, whose number on the continent, according to some estimates, is 30 million.
As known, homeless children are the most vulnerable children in the world, they are repeatedly subjected to violence, exploitation, physical and moral humiliation. Tuition fees are another big problem for many African children. Despite the efforts and assistance of charitable organizations, even today there is an insurmountable barrier between law and reality. That is why international organizations, starting with the African Union and UNICEF, annually initiate, organize discussions with the aim of bringing the lives of millions of African children to human.
