#WDoR2025 World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims / Dag ter Herdenking van Verkeersslachtoffers 2025
Since the adoption of the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, pursuant to General Assembly resolution 60/5, the observance has spread to a growing number of countries on every continent.
The Day has become an important tool in global efforts to reduce road casualties. It offers an opportunity for drawing attention to the scale of emotional and economic devastation caused by road crashes and for giving recognition to the suffering of road crash victims and the work of support and rescue services. The objectives of the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims are to provide a platform for road traffic victims and their families to:
- remember all people killed and seriously injured on the roads;
- acknowledge the crucial work of the emergency services;
- draw attention to the generally trivial legal response to culpable road deaths and injuries
- advocate for better support for road traffic victims and victim families;
- promote evidence-based actions to prevent and eventually stop further road traffic deaths and injuries.
A dedicated website was launched to make the Day more widely known and to link countries through sharing common objectives and the remembrance of people killed and injured in crashes. In September 2020, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/74/299 “Improving global road safety”, proclaiming the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030, with the ambitious target of preventing at least 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. WHO and the UN regional commissions, in cooperation with other partners in the UN Road Safety Collaboration, have developed a Global Plan for the Decade of Action. Also, to highlight the plight of children on the world’s roads and generate action to better ensure their safety, the UN organizes the Global Road Safety Week.

RSF 40th anniversary Festival / Press freedom RSF Awards 2025
The thirty-third edition of the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Press Freedom Awards will be a special edition, held as part of the RSF Festival marking the NGO’s 40th anniversary at the Gaîté Lyrique cultural centre in Paris on 15 November 2025.
Twenty-nine journalists, photojournalists and media outlets from around the world will be honoured across five categories: the Courage Prize, the Impact Prize, the Independence Prize, the Mohamed Maïga Prize for African Investigative Journalism and the Lucas Dolega-SAIF Photo Prize. The Press Freedom Awards will take place alongside films, debates, workshops, exhibitions, and performances as the RSF Festival celebrates four decades of defending press freedom, access to reliable information and the protection of those who make it possible. The ceremony will be hosted by RSF Editorial Director Anne Bocandé and pay tribute to these “information heroes,” spotlighting their courageous, essential work. This year’s shortlist comprises 15 journalists, nine media outlets and five photojournalists from 18 countries. All have made significant contributions to the defence and promotion of press freedom worldwide. Acclaimed actor and director Aïssa Maïga will present the Mohamed Maïga Prize for African Investigative Journalism. The prize, added in 2024, is overseen by RSF and the Mohamed Maïga Association and rewards the exemplary work of an African journalist on topics such as human rights, the environment, education and the right to information — issues dear to Aïssa Maïga’s father, Malian investigative journalist Mohamed Maïga, who died in unclear circumstances in 1984.

#StopOrganizedCrime Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organized Crime 2025
In March 2024, the General Assembly declared 15 November the International Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organized Crime, in order to raise awareness of the threats posed by all forms of transnational organized crime and to enhance international cooperation in this regard.
It recognized the importance of the prevention of and fight against transnational organized crime for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The General Assembly commemorated all victims of organized crime, including those who have lost their lives fighting such crime, in particular law enforcement and judicial personnel, and paying special tribute to all those persons, such as Judge Giovanni Falcone, whose work and sacrifice paved the way for the adoption of the Convention, and affirming that their legacy lives on through our global commitment to preventing and combating organized crime. Organized crime thrives worldwide, affecting governance and political processes, and weakening the advancement of the rule of law. It encompasses, inter alia, illicit trafficking of firearms, drugs, protected species, cultural property, or falsified medical products and, among its most severe manifestations, human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants. It also includes the laundering of proceeds of crime and obstruction of justice. Moreover, with all forms of organized crime shifting ever more to being dependent on or incorporating online aspects, including the use of virtual assets, its reach and capability of harm is increasing. Organized criminal groups are flexible in changing or expanding their illicit businesses for profit. They misuse vulnerabilities and crisis situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, economic downturns, natural disasters, and armed conflicts exploiting them for their own purposes. Traditional, territorial-based criminal groups have evolved or have been partially replaced by smaller and more flexible networks with branches across several jurisdictions. Criminal actors, witnesses, victims and proceeds of crime may be located in many different States. It is therefore evident, that joint efforts from States across the world are required as organized crime cannot be tackled in isolation.
The 2025 campaign, “Follow the money. Stop organized crime.”, highlights the cost of transnational organized crime and underscores the importance of tracing illicit financial flows to cut the lifeline of criminal networks. By targeting the profits of organized crime, we can disrupt operations, strengthen justice and return stolen assets to communities. Everyone, including Member States, international organizations, civil society, the private sector and individuals, is encouraged to take part in this year’s campaign. Transnational organized crime is a growing global threat that harms and exploits people, communities, economies and the planet. From the illicit drug trade and narco-deforestation to cybercrime, human trafficking and trafficking in firearms and critical minerals, transnational organized crime is everywhere and organized crime groups are generating billions of dollars in illicit proceeds each year.

Dag van de Gevangen Schrijver / Dag van de Vermoorde Schrijver / Day of the #ImprisonedWriter 2025
PEN International, de eerste wereldwijde vereniging van schrijvers, is de initiatiefnemer van Dag van de Gevangen Schrijver en de Vermoorde Schrijver.
Deze dag gaat om het stilstaan bij de gevangengenomen schrijver en het herdenken van de verdwenen schrijver of de vermoorde schrijver. De dag heeft ook betrekking op een dichter, journalist of blogger, deze dag is voor iedereen die betrokken is bij het geschreven of gesproken woord. PEN roept wereldwijd autoriteiten op om iedereen vrij te laten die uitsluitend gevangen is gezet omdat gebruik werd gemaakt van het recht op vrijheid van meningsuiting, recht op vrijheid van vreedzame vereniging en/of vergadering. Dat vrijheid van meningsuiting niet in elk land zo vanzelfsprekend is helaas meer dan bekend. Elk jaar zet PEN International een paar mensen in de spotlight. Geen enkele vorm van geweld zal het woord overwinnen want de pen zal altijd sterker zijn dan de kogel.
#EndSlavery #InternationalDayForTheAbolitionOfSlavery Dag voor de Afschaffing van de Slavernij 2025
The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, 2 December, marks the date of the adoption, by the United Nations General Assembly, of the Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others (resolution 317(IV) of 2 December 1949).
The Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others was approved by the United Nations General Assembly on December 2, 1949. Besides, by resolution 57/195 of 18 December 2002, the Assembly proclaimed 2004 the International Year to Commemorate the Struggle against Slavery and its Abolition. The United Nations emphasizes the fight against slavery as part of its commitment to human rights, recognizing that slavery in any form is a grave violation. Modern slavery is a global problem, affecting over one million children trafficked each year for cheap labor or sexual exploitation, challenging the Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ stance that “no one shall be held in slavery or servitude.” The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery serves as a reminder and a call to action to end slavery in all its forms. Activities on this day include publishing articles, poetry, and opinion pieces to provoke thought and discussion, classroom reviews of the history of the slave trade and its modern evolutions, and public speeches by political leaders urging action to eradicate slavery. Media outlets often feature news, debates, and forums to further highlight the issue, while public awareness campaigns distribute informational materials in universities and community spaces.

Year of Trade Union Climate Action
2025-2026 has been declared the Year of Trade Union Climate Action.
Workers everywhere are fighting for action to tackle climate change, organising to futureproof at-risk jobs, mobilising to protect vulnerable communities here and abroad, and sweating for a low-carbon economy that works for workers. Backed by motions at both the 2024 and 2025 TUC Congress, November sees the start of an important year of UK union action on the climate emergency. On Friday 14 November, 2025 the Campaign Against Climate Change (CACC) Trade Union Group hopes every union branch in every workplace will demand action to tackle the climate crisis through lunchtime protests, handing out leaflets, linking up with community actions, or raising issues such as working temperatures and air quality at work, for example. The following day, events demanding climate action and climate justice will take place across the world to coincide with the COP 30 international climate negotiations in Brazil. The UNISON public services, Unite general, NEU education, PCS public and commercial services, UCU university and college, FBU firefighters’ and BFAWU foodworkers’ unions are among those taking part in the year of action. As well as the events on 14 and 15 November, the NEU will support a National Emergency Briefing on climate and nature in London on 27 November. Eight leading experts will brief 850 politicians and business, culture and faith leaders, as well as the media, with the aim of helping “to trigger a societal tipping point towards emergency-level climate and nature action”. The NEU is also running a series of continuing professional development webinars for members, while its annual Health, Safety and Environment Briefing in November includes sessions on clean air, green bargaining, and the Climate Ambassadors scheme. The latter, promoted by the Department for Education, aims to boost sustainability and climate action in educational settings. In March 2026, unions in education — the NEU, UCU, NAHT and UNISON — will hold a climate and nature festival. This will look at how to support and upskill a just transition, inspiring climate action in education settings. It will examine how to foster a community of educators taking action, share best practice and success stories, and link to international educators, including those from the global south.
