There are several types of forcibly displaced persons: \n\n\n\nRefugees\n\n\n\nA refugee is someone who fled his or her home and country owing to “a well-founded fear of persecution because of his/her race\, religion\, nationality\, membership in a particular social group\, or political opinion”\, according to the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention.

SUMMARY:UN International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:By resolution 42/112 of 7 December 1987\, the General Assembly decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking as an expression of its determination to strengthen action and cooperation to achieve the goal of an international society free of drug abuse. \n\n\n\nSupported each year by individuals\, communities\, and various organizations all over the world\, this global observance aims to raise awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs represent to society. \n\n\n\nThe evidence is clear: invest in prevention\n\n\n\nThe global drug problem presents a multifaceted challenge that touches the lives of millions worldwide. From individuals struggling with substance use disorders to communities grappling with the consequences of drug trafficking and organized crime\, the impact of drugs is far-reaching and complex. Central to addressing this challenge is the imperative to adopt a scientific evidence-based approach that prioritizes prevention and treatment. \n\n\n\nThe International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking\, or World Drug Day\, is marked on 26 June every year to strengthen action and cooperation in achieving a world free of drug abuse. This year’s World Drug Day calls for investment in prevention\, including justice\, education\, health care and alternative livelihoods — the building blocks of sustainable resilience. \n\n\n\nThis year’s campaign “Break the cycle. #StopOrganizedCrime” highlights the need for coordinated long-term action to break the cycle of organized crime and drug trafficking – by addressing root causes\, investing in prevention and building stronger health\, education and social systems. \n\n\n\n#WorldDrugDay #InvestInPrevention #StopOrganizedCrime

SUMMARY:UN World Population Day
DESCRIPTION:Empowering Youth to Build the Families They Want \n\n\n\nGlobal fertility rates are falling\, prompting warnings about “population collapse.” But the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)’s State of World Population report shows the real issue is a lack of reproductive agency—many people\, especially youth\, are unable to have the children they want. \n\n\n\nWorld Population Day highlights this challenge\, focusing on the largest-ever generation of young people. The theme\, “Empowering young people to create the families they want in a fair and hopeful world\,” calls for ensuring youth have the rights\, tools\, and opportunities to shape their futures. \n\n\n\nYoung people are already driving change\, but face major obstacles: economic insecurity\, gender inequality\, limited healthcare and education\, climate disruption\, and conflict. A UNFPA–YouGov survey of over 14\,000 people in 14 countries found most wanted more children but were prevented by social\, economic\, or health barriers. \n\n\n\nTo respond to global population trends effectively\, leaders must prioritize young people’s needs and voices. They need more than services—they need hope\, stability\, and a future worth planning for. As one youth activist told UNFPA\, “Young people are not just thinking about their future children—they are thinking about the world those children will inherit.” Supporting their rights is key to sustainable development\, peace\, and human dignity.

SUMMARY:World Hepatitis Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, more than a million people lose their lives to hepatitis – and the number of deaths is rising. But why? \n\n\n\nWe have fast and accurate tests\, effective and affordable treatments\, and a proven vaccine that could prevent 95% of newborns from getting hepatitis B. \n\n\n\nLow awareness\, misinformation\, myths and stigma are stopping people from accessing hepatitis services and leading to a lack of action by decision makers. \n\n\n\nLet’s break it down.\n\n\n\nThis World Hepatitis Day\, let’s break down the barriers holding us back from a hepatitis-free world. The World Hepatitis Alliance\, our partners\, allies\, and our 400 members in 120 countries are calling for action to end this entirely preventable disease. \n\n\n\nOur goals: \n\n\n\nThat everyone sees that hepatitis elimination is not only possible but achievable – if we all work together to make it happen. \n\n\n\nThat everyone has the knowledge and understanding they need to make informed choices about hepatitis testing\, treatment and vaccination. \n\n\n\nFor decision makers to become advocates\, providing the resources needed to improve the lives of affected communities. \n\n\n\nAn end to the stigma for people living with hepatitis\, ensuring no one is left behind.

SUMMARY:International Youth Day
DESCRIPTION:Youth Localizing the SDGs \n\n\n\nThe theme of International Youth Day (IYD) 2025\, Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond\, highlights the unique role of youth in translating global ambitions into community-driven realities. As development partners work to translate and implement the global goals within specific local contexts\, aligning them with community needs while maintaining consistency with national and international commitments\, young people are critical partners. They bring creativity\, insight\, and deep community ties that help bridge the gap between policy and practice. With over 65 per cent of SDG targets linked to local governance\, youth engagement is not a luxury—it is a necessity. \n\n\n\nThis year’s IYD will also underscore the essential role of local and regional governments. Being the closest to the communities they serve\, they are uniquely positioned to create inclusive policy environments\, allocate resources\, and establish mechanisms for youth participation in local planning and decision-making. By integrating youth priorities into local and regional strategies and fostering partnerships with youth organizations\, authorities can collaborate with young people to transform their ideas into impactful solutions. When local governments provide spaces for innovation\, mentorship\, and civic engagement\, they not only accelerate SDG implementation but also nurture future community leaders and changemakers. \n\n\n\nThis year’s IYD takes on added significance as it coincides with the upcoming 30th anniversary of the World Programme of Action for Youth. It remains a guiding framework for recognizing youth as key actors in sustainable development and participatory governance—principles directly echoed in this year’s theme. Discussions related to the 2025 IYD theme will also inform preparations for the Second World Summit for Social Development to be held in Doha in November. \n\n\n\nAs the world embarks on the final stretch toward 2030\, IYD 2025 calls for real investments in inclusive policies and programmes that leverage local youth actions for the SDGs.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day UN
DESCRIPTION:A Call to #ActForHumanity \n\n\n\nOn 19 August\, we mark World Humanitarian Day — a time to honor those who step into crises to help others\, and to stand with the millions of people whose lives hang in the balance. \n\n\n\nThis year the message is clear: the humanitarian system is stretched to its limits; underfunded\, overwhelmed and under attack. \n\n\n\nWhere bombs fall and disasters strike\, humanitarian workers are the ones holding the line keeping people alive\, often at great personal risk. But more and more those who help are becoming targets themselves. \n\n\n\nIn 2024 alone over 380 humanitarian workers were killed. Some in the line of duty\, others in their homes. Hundreds more have been injured\, kidnapped or detained\, and there is reason to fear 2025 could be worse. \n\n\n\nToo often the world looks away\, even when these attacks violate international law. The laws meant to protect aid workers are ignored. Those responsible walk free. This silence and lack of accountability cannot continue. \n\n\n\nThe system is failing not just humanitarian workers\, but the people they serve. We’re not at a crossroads anymore. We’re standing at the edge. Needs are rising. Funding is falling. Attacks on aid workers are breaking records.
