Mahatma Gandhi
January 30th - School Day of Peace and Non-Violence
The School Day of Peace and Non-Violence was first celebrated in 1964. It emerged from Spanish professor Llorenc Vidal’s non-governmental, independent and volunteer pioneer initiative, Non-Violent and Peaceful Education. Its objective is to educate for and about tolerance, solidarity, agreement and respect for Human Rights, non-violence and peace. On this day, primary and secondary schools turn into instruments of peace and understanding among people of distinct occupations, races, cultures and religions.
The basic message of this day is: “Universal Love, Non-Violence and Peace.”
Furthermore, January 30th commemorates the death of the national and spiritual leader of India, Mahatma Gandhi, who was shot and killed by a fanatical Hindu on January 30th, 1948.

Elimination of Violence against Women




In December 1999, the 54th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 54/134 declaring November 25th the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

The origins of November 25th go back to 1960, when the Mirabal sisters from the Dominican Republic were violently assassinated for their political activism.

The sisters, known as the Unforgettable Butterflies, became a symbol of the crisis of violence against women in Latin America.

November 25th was the date chose to commemorate their lives and promote global recognition of gender violence, and has been observed worldwide since the 1980s.
