Read the complete article: 1914-1918-Online-mexican_revolution-2016-03-07 \nThe event is celebrated throughout Mexico will parades and festivals. \n

SUMMARY:"Dia de los Muertos" - Day of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:Rather Than Halloween\, Mexicans Honor Their Past Loved Ones on Day of the Dead\nOctober 31 – November 2 – During this time\, Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead. This holiday is as important to Mexicans as Thanksgiving is in the USA and Canada. It is a celebration\, not of death\, but of the continuum of life. Families travel long distances to be with their loved ones on this occasion. Its origins are distinctly Mexican: During the time of the Aztecs\, a month-long summer celebration was overseen by the goddess Mictecacihuatl\, the Lady of the Dead. After the Aztecs were conquered by Spain and Catholicism became the dominant religion\, the customs became intertwined with the Christian commemoration of All Saints’ Day on Nov. 1st. The holiday is a joyous celebration!  It is a time for the family to pray\, to reflect\, to honor and to remember their dead. \nMost cities have parades with exciting costumes. Look for events in your area. \nRead these articles: \nAltars\, Masks and Parades for the Day of the Dead in Mexico \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
DESCRIPTION:From the UN Website: \nPoverty is not solely an economic problem\nIn a world characterized by an unprecedented level of economic development\, technological means\, and financial resources\, the fact that millions of persons are living in extreme poverty is a moral outrage. \nPoverty is not solely an economic issue\, but rather a multidimensional phenomenon that encompasses a lack of both income and the basic capabilities to live in dignity. \nPersons living in poverty experience many interrelated and mutually reinforcing deprivations that prevent them from realizing their rights and perpetuate their poverty\, including: \n\ndangerous work conditions\nunsafe housing\nlack of nutritious food\nunequal access to justice\nlack of political power\nlimited access to health care\n\nThe United Nations General Assembly\, in its resolution 47/196 of 22 December 1992\, marks 17 October as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

SUMMARY:UN International Day of the Girl Child
DESCRIPTION:2019 theme: GirlForce: Unscripted and Unstoppable\nFrom the UN Website: \nNearly 25 years ago\, some 30\,000 women and men from nearly 200 countries arrived in Beijing\, China for the Fourth World Conference on Women\, determined to recognize the rights of women and girls as human rights. The conference culminated in the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action: the most comprehensive policy agenda for the empowerment of women. \nIn the years following\, women pressed this agenda forward\, leading global movements on issues ranging from sexual and reproductive health rights to equal pay. More girls today are attending and completing school\, fewer are getting married or becoming mothers while still children and more are gaining the skills they need to excel in the future world of work. \nToday\, these movements have expanded. They are being organized by and for adolescent girls\, and tackling issues like child marriage\, education inequality\, gender-based violence\, climate change\, self-esteem\, and girls’ rights to enter places of worship or public spaces during menstruation. Girls are proving they are unscripted and unstoppable. \nThis year\, under the theme\, “GirlForce: Unscripted and unstoppable”\, we will celebrate achievements by\, with and for girls since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Click here for more information. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:International Day of The World’s Indigenous Peoples
DESCRIPTION:In 1994\, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed this date to be celebrated every year. Indigenous peoples have sought recognition of their identities\, way of life and their right to traditional lands\, territories and natural resources for years\, yet throughout history; their rights have always been violated. \nIndigenous peoples today\, are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world. The international community now recognizes that special measures are required to protect their rights and maintain their distinct cultures and way of life.

SUMMARY:International Day of Friendship - July 30
DESCRIPTION:Our world faces many challenges\, crises and forces of division — such as poverty\, violence\, and human rights abuses — that undermine peace\, security\, development and social harmony among the world’s peoples. \nTo confront those crises and challenges\, their root causes must be addressed by promoting and defending a shared spirit of human solidarity that takes many forms — the simplest of which is friendship. \nThrough friendship\, we can contribute to the fundamental shifts that are urgently needed to achieve lasting stability\, weave a safety net that will protect us all\, and generate passion for a better world where all are united for the greater good. \nToday (and on other days)\, sit down and talk to someone with whom you disagree. Take a new friend to lunch. Reach outside of your comfort zone and learn about other people.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development - May 21
DESCRIPTION:Why does cultural diversity matter?\n\n\nMost of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Cultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. Cultural diversity is an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAcceptance and recognition of cultural diversity – in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) – are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nThis Day provides everyone with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions: \n\nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture\nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase the mobility of artists and cultural professionals\nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks\nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:World Migratory Bird Day - May 11
DESCRIPTION:Protect Birds: Be the Solution to Plastic Pollution!\nPlastic is one of the most widely used materials in the world with an annual production of more than 300 million tons. Plastic is used for its main purpose for only a moment – but\, it has a lifecycle of 20 to 500 years. The discarded pieces are easily transported to ecosystems through the forces of nature causing serious threats to migratory species around the world. \nHow does plastic affect birds? \nSadly\, having wings does not help birds escape the threat of plastic. Dead chicks with stomachs full of plastic\, entangled and smothered by plastic rings and nets are all too real consequences of the toll that plastic takes on birds and other wildlife. \nWhat can YOU do? \nReduce\, reuse and recycle – Limit your use of plastic materials and replace them with eco-friendly alternatives\, use and dispose of plastics sustainably. \nClean up – Join clean-up activities in your area\, whether at beaches or along rivers. \nSpread the word – Support local and global action against excessive\, unnecessary use and detrimental disposal of plastic. \n  \n
