International Children's Helpline Day is on May 17 every year.

As of today, 173 children's helplines are operating in 168 countries.

In 2005, Mongolia first opened the Children's Helpline under the name "Close Friend-1979". However, in 2014, the National Council for Children decided to increase the number of children's helplines to 108 by making a 3-digit number. Thus, since 2016, it has been expanded to 108 telephone service centers for Children's Aid.

As of the first quarter of 2022, more than 536,000 calls were received to 108 child helplines.

Let everyone know the children's emergency number just as they know the fire department, police, and hospital emergency numbers by heart.
