World Day Against Child Labour

World Day Against Child Labour is observed every year on June 12 to raise awareness about the millions of children around the world who are still engaged in work that deprives them of their childhood, education, health and dignity.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, play and grow in a safe environment. Ending child labour requires collective efforts to ensure access to quality education, social protection and equal opportunities for all children. This day serves as a reminder that childhood should be a time of learning and development, not exploitation and hardship.

International Day of Play celebrates the power of play in the lives of children everywhere.

Play is much more than entertainment. It helps children learn, develop creativity, build friendships, strengthen confidence and support their physical and emotional well-being. Every child deserves safe, inclusive and accessible opportunities to play, regardless of their background or circumstances.

On this day, let us recognize play as an essential part of childhood and support environments where children can learn, explore, imagine and thrive through play.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is observed every year on June 15 to raise global awareness about the mistreatment and neglect of older people. First established by the United Nations in 2006, the day highlights the urgent need to protect the rights, dignity, and safety of elderly individuals, many of whom suffer in silence. Elder abuse can take many forms—physical, emotional, financial, or even neglect—and often goes unnoticed or unreported.

In 2025, as populations continue to age worldwide, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day calls on communities, governments, and individuals to take action. Whether through education, legal reforms, support services, or simply speaking out, we all have a role in preventing abuse and ensuring that older adults live in respect and security. Wearing purple on June 15 is one way people around the world show solidarity and support for this important cause.

Happy Father’s Day!

Father’s Day is a special occasion celebrated to honor fathers and father figures for their role in the family and society. The idea originated in the early 20th century in the United States, inspired by the success of Mother’s Day. It was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to pay tribute to her father, a Civil War veteran who raised six children alone. The first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. Over time, the tradition spread, and in 1972, it was officially recognized as a national holiday in the U.S.

Today, Father’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, typically on the third Sunday of June, though the date varies in some regions. It is a day for children and families to express gratitude through gestures, gifts, or quality time, recognizing the love, sacrifices, and guidance fathers provide. Whether it’s a biological dad, stepfather, grandfather, or mentor, this day highlights their important role in shaping lives and supporting families.

World No To***co Day

Each year on May 31, the world comes together to mark World No To***co Day, a global health awareness campaign initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to highlight the devastating impact of to***co and ni****ne products on public health. The day also serves as a call to action for stronger policies, public education, and greater protection—especially for young people.

To***co remains one of the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. More than 8 million people die every year as a result of to***co use, including over 1 million non-smokers exposed to second-hand smoke. In addition to its deadly health effects, to***co use imposes a heavy economic burden on healthcare systems and reduces productivity in the workforce.

Young people are especially vulnerable. The rise in e-cigarette and va**ng use among teenagers is alarming, with many falsely believing these alternatives are safe. In reality, ni****ne addiction can form quickly and cause long-term harm to brain development, mood regulation, and impulse control.

World No To***co Day is not just a one-day campaign—it is a movement toward a healthier, smoke-free future. By uncovering the truth behind industry tactics and empowering the next generation with knowledge, we can build a world where to***co no longer has a place.

International Day of Living Together in Peace

Living together in peace means embracing diversity, respecting differences, and cultivating understanding, respect, and appreciation for one another. It is about creating a harmonious coexistence where people live in unity, despite their varied backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives.

The United Nations General Assembly, through its Resolution 72/130, proclaimed May 16 as the International Day of Living Together in Peace. This observance serves as a call to the international community to promote values of peace, tolerance, inclusion, understanding, and solidarity. It embodies the commitment to coexist in peace and harmony, united by our differences and diversity, with the goal of building a sustainable world.

This day also encourages nations to advance reconciliation as a pathway to lasting peace and sustainable development. This includes engaging with communities, faith leaders, and other stakeholders, promoting acts of service, fostering forgiveness, and nurturing compassion among individuals.

Living together in peace is not just a principle; it is a commitment to building bridges, resolving conflicts, and strengthening human connections in a world that thrives on diversity.

International Mother’s Day 2025 - A Day to Celebrate Mothers Worldwide

Mother’s Day is a significant global occasion that honors mothers and maternal figures in our lives. In 2025, International Mother’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, May 11. This special day is an opportunity to express love, gratitude, and appreciation to the women who have played the role of a mother, whether they are biological mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, or other maternal figures.

Mother's Day has historical roots that date back thousands of years, from ancient celebrations of fertility goddesses. However, the modern form of this day began in the early 20th century in the United States, thanks to the efforts of Ann Jarvis, who wanted to honor her mother and all mothers who contributed to society. In 1914, Mother's Day was officially declared a national holiday by President Woodrow Wilson.

Today, Mother's Day is much more than a formal celebration. It is an opportunity to express our gratitude and love to the women who have played the role of a mother in our lives – whether biological mothers, grandmothers, sisters, or mentors who have shaped us.

In many countries, this day is celebrated with gifts, flowers, cards, and family gatherings. But above all, it is a day to remember that a mother's love is unconditional and everlasting.

World Contact Day

World Contact Day is celebrated annually on March 15. First observed in 1953, it's a day when people around the globe send peaceful messages into space, hoping to communicate with aliens. The day encourages openness, curiosity, and global unity, emphasizing peaceful and respectful contact.

You can celebrate by sending telepathic messages expressing friendship, stargazing to observe planets and constellations, or watching films like "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," or "Arrival." Reading books such as "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan or listening to space-themed music like "Space Oddity" by David Bowie can enrich your experience.

Hosting a space-themed party, creating art, or writing stories about peaceful encounters with aliens are also enjoyable ways to participate. Visiting local observatories or planetariums and exploring NASA's website or other space exploration resources can further enhance your celebration.
