World Consumer Rights Day is observed annually on 15 March.
The day is recognised to create global awareness about the rights and needs of consumers.
One of the primary reasons behind celebrating World Consumer Day is to highlight the fundamental rights of all consumers, honouring and respecting them, and making sure to protect them.
This year the theme of World Consumer Rights Day 2023 is "Empowering Consumers Through Clean Energy Transitions."
The first ever World Consumer Rights Day was started by the Consumer International, a membership organisation for consumer groups around the world.
Consumer International was founded in the year 1960 as an independent and influential voice for consumers.
World Consumer Rights Day was first celebrated in the year 1983. Every year, we observe World Consumer Rights Day on 15 March because on the same date, US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy introduced four important consumer rights while delivering a speech to Congress.

These four important consumer rights are:

Right to safety
Right to be informed
Right to choose
Right to be heard
