15th March: World Consumer Rights Day

World Consumer Rights Day was established on 15th March 1983 to promote consumer rights around the world.

This day is organized by Consumers International (CI), which is the world federation of consumer groups that serves as the only independent and authoritative global voice for consumers. Around the world the day will be marked with local initiatives, including campaigns,workshops and street events for promoting the basic rights of all consumers.


Each year, the CI Council selects a theme for WCRD activities.
The theme for 2013 was  "Consumer Justice Now!" and the theme for this year activities is "Fix our phone rights!"
