International Day of Peace or World Peace Day is celebrated every year on 21 September. According to the United Nations, the day is established to strengthen the ideals of peace among different nations, communities, societies, and people. One of the main motives behind observing the International Day of Peace is to promote global peace and take critical measures to put an end to non-violence.
To achieve peace in the world, people need to have a broader perspective with long-term goals. Just putting down arms does not suffice for true and long-lasting peace. For living a peaceful life, it is important to develop a strong and peaceful society where everyone feels like they can thrive. It entails establishing a society where everyone is treated equally irrespective of their age, caste, gender, and race.
Theme of World Peace Day 2022
Every year, the International Day of Peace is celebrated under a specific theme. This year, according to the UN, the theme of World Peace Day 2022 is 'End racism , Build peace.' There will be many events, workshops, and educational seminars on the eve of World Peace Day 2022 to create awareness among people about how to develop a world free of racism and racial discrimination.
According to the United Nations, "Racism continues to poison institutions, social structures, and everyday life in every society. It continues to be a driver of persistent inequality. And it continues to deny people their fundamental human rights. It destabilises societies, undermines democracies, erodes the legitimacy of governments, and the linkages between racism and gender inequality are unmistakable."
World Peace Day is celebrated with the hope of creating a world where empathy and compassion prevail over prejudice and hostility – a peaceful world that we can truly be proud of.
