Recognizing holidays or special days that are celebrated by different cultures, and honoring those dates that commemorate historical events or human rights struggles, are ways that we can both celebrate diversity and reaffirm our common bond. Throughout the year, specific dates lend themselves to human rights and violence prevention efforts. While scheduling an event or risk reduction activity may not always be possible on a specific date, informing your audience about the significance of certain dates may also be a way of spreading the word on the many causes and struggles that ultimately affect us all in one way or another. |
