World Autism Awareness Day
Ever since the United Nations General Assembly designated 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) in 2007, the United Nations has observed the day as a means to affirm and promote the full realization of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for autistic people on an equal basis with others
What Colour is World Autism Day? Wear blue on 2 April
When we wear blue, it’s not only about keeping that conversation going about autism but it’s also making sure that those with autism and their families don’t feel alone. So on April 2nd and throughout World Autism Month in April, please wear blue, and have others do the same.
What is the symbol for autism?
The Autism Awareness Ribbon (The Puzzle Piece Ribbon)
The puzzle ribbon became the universal symbol of autism awareness in 1999. While trademarked by the Autism Society, it’s shared with other nonprofits to promote unity and a universal mission rather than individual interests.

Is autism a disability?
Autism is a neurological developmental disability with an estimated prevalence of one to two percent of the American and worldwide population. The diversity of the disability means that each person’s individual experience of autism and needs for support and services can vary widely.

World TB Day, falling on March 24th each year is designed to build public awareness that tuberculosis today remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of nearly one-and-a-half million people each year, mostly in developing countries.
What is the theme for World Tuberculosis Day 2025?
World Tuberculosis Day 2025: Unite to End Tuberculosis.
The Significance of World Tuberculosis Day
World Tuberculosis Day serves as a critical platform for educating the public about the impact of tuberculosis on the health, social, and economic well-being of populations worldwide. It also acts as a call to action for individuals, communities, and governments to join forces in the fight against tuberculosis and to accelerate efforts towards eliminating the disease as a public health burden.
The Objective of World Tuberculosis Day 2025
Raising Awareness
Our primary goal is to elevate public understanding and awareness about the ongoing TB epidemic, emphasizing the need for preventive measures, early diagnosis, and effective treatment.
Promoting Access to Care
We aim to highlight the importance of universal access to quality healthcare services, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their economic status, can receive the tuberculosis care they need.
Advocating for Research and Innovation
Continued innovation and research are vital for the development of new vaccines, diagnostic tools, and treatments to end tuberculosis. World Tuberculosis Day 2024 emphasizes the critical need for funding and support for TB research.
Strengthening Partnerships
The fight against tuberculosis requires a collaborative approach. We encourage partnerships among governments, health organizations, civil society, and the private sector to pool resources and expertise in combating tuberculosis.

Human Rights Day in South Africa is historically linked with the events in Sharpeville on 21 March 1960 when 69 people died and 180 were wounded when police fired on a peaceful crowd that had gathered to protest against the Pass laws.
What are human rights?
Human rights are rights that everyone should have simply because they are human. In 1948, the United Nations defined 30 articles of human rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It established universal human rights on the basis of humanity, freedom, justice, and peace.
