It is 26 years ago this year since a day dedicated to remembering road traffic victims began to be observed internationally – for the first ten years by the European Federation of Road Traffic Victims (FEVR) and its many member organizations, including RoadPeace, the UK charity which introduced the day in 1995. With strong support from WHO and UNRSC members, UN Member States adopted UN General Assembly resolution 60/5 in October 2005, calling for an annual World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims as an “appropriate acknowledgement for victims of road traffic crashes and their families”. Since then the World Day of Remembrance has been increasingly marked in countries worldwide by governments, international agencies and NGO members of the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety and the International Road Victims’ Partnership and their many associated organizations.
The World Day of Remembrance is a high-profile global advocacy event. Its goal is to provide a global platform to remember those killed or seriously injured on the world’s roads each year and highlight the need for a more appropriate and just post-crash response for road traffic victims and their bereaved families.
Remember. Support. Act.
As per the above tagline, remember those killed and seriously injured in road traffic crashes better support victims and their bereaved families take concrete action to save lives on the roads
