World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated annually on March 15th to raise awareness about consumer rights and promote consumer protection. This day serves as a reminder to businesses and governments to respect consumer rights and ensure fair practices in the marketplace. It empowers consumers to make informed decisions and hold companies accountable for their products and services.

The theme for World Consumer Rights Day 2021 is "Tackling Plastic Pollution," highlighting the importance of reducing the use of single-use plastics and promoting sustainable consumption. Consumers play a crucial role in driving change towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly economy. Through education and advocacy, consumers can protect their rights and make a positive impact on the planet.

On this day, various events and campaigns are organized around the world to promote consumer rights and raise awareness about issues such as product safety, fair pricing, and ethical business practices. Consumers are encouraged to learn about their rights, report any violations, and join movements advocating for consumer protection. Together, we can create a more transparent, ethical, and sustainable marketplace for all.
