We should advocate for an affordable health care system that ensures that every person can have access to different treatments. Let’s keep fighting the taboos around mental health and people seeking for help!

Today for International Day of Peace, we want to encourage everyone to hold peace very close to their hearts on their day to day lives. We should aspire for peace in a global scale but also within ourselves. This year’s topic is “Recovering Better for a Sustainable and Equitable World”, and it comes in the midst of a pandemic that has demonstrated the importance of community and solidarity between different groups of people. As we navigate these turbulent times, we would like to acknowledge how crucial it is to work for a world where every living being has an opportunity to thrive while being respected, loved and cared for. Celebrate peace by standing up against injustices and let’s all work for a better and more peaceful world. What does peace mean to you? How do you actively participate to make it more present in your community (online and offline)?

World Suicide Prevention Day is a day for awarenes
World Suicide Prevention Day is a day for awareness. Especially as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a subject that should be addressed by all of us. We need to break the taboo around mental health and start focusing on creating equitable opportunities for everyone to be able to talk and work on their mental health. Reach out to people in your community, your family and your friend group. There are many ways in which we can be there for each other and to ask for help when we need it.

World Humanitarian Day 2021 wants to bring awareness regarding the climate crisis that the world is currently in. It wants us to evaluate the ways in which we can help other individuals who are being affected the most due to the rapid changes in the climate. People who live in the Global South and contribute the least to climate change are being the most affected and it is time that the world acknowledges the crisis that we are in. It is imminent that as a global community we amplify the voices of those who are at risk and need our immediate help. The only way to combat the climate crisis is to do it together. — El Día Mundial de la Asistencia Humanitaria 2021 busca crear conciencia sobre la crisis climática que atraviesa el mundo. Debemos evaluar las formas en las que podemos ayudar a otras personas que se ven más afectadas por el cambio climático. Las personas que viven en el Sur Global y que menos contribuyen al cambio climático son las más afectadas y es hora de que el mundo reconozca la crisis en la que nos encontramos. Es inminente que, como comunidad global, amplifiquemos las voces de quienes están en riesgo y necesita nuestra ayuda inmediata. La única forma de combatir la crisis climática es hacerlo juntos. #theHumanRace #WorldHumanitarianDay

Indigenous people have always been incredibly important for the survival of the planet. However, due to colonization and imperialism, their lands have been stolen and their lives have been constantly threatened. Indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic, and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples serves as a reminder to all of us about the importance of respecting and protecting the different Indigenous groups all over the planet. In order to do this, land should be returned to them, their lives have to be protected and the people who threaten their survival should be held accountable.
