Celebrated by the United Nations, the International Day of Older Persons is an occasion to recognize the value of older individuals, both for themselves, their loved ones, and society as a whole. Aging is a complex and varied reality that ranges from active and healthy seniors to those who are not self-sufficient. While the aging population represents a significant success in public health, indicating a very high life expectancy, it also highlights the need for further support for health and social policies. Aging in good health is a priority not only for European and international strategies but also for national policies.

Commemorated on the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, who asserted that "Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man," the International Day of Non-Violence was promoted by the United Nations General Assembly. It calls on all UN member states to commemorate the day appropriately to "disseminate the message of non-violence, including through information and public awareness." The day reaffirms "the universal relevance of the principle of non-violence" and "the desire to ensure a culture of peace, tolerance, understanding, and non-violence."

The United Nations General Assembly established this day to focus attention on the rights of young girls and the need to promote their empowerment, as well as to recognize the rights of girls and the unique challenges they face around the world.

With proper support during adolescence, they can become women, workers, mothers, entrepreneurs, and independent political leaders. Sustainable Development Goal 5, "Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls," also pertains to them, given the disadvantages and discrimination they face worldwide every day.

The day aims to make the world a more beautiful place to live by fostering healthier relationships. In a world paradoxically more competitive and aggressive following the pandemic, which many had hoped would lead to greater collaboration among people and society, cultivating a lifestyle and approach to interacting with others based on kindness is of fundamental importance. The date was chosen to mark the beginning of the World Kindness Movement conference held in Tokyo in 1997, which led to the signing of the Declaration of Kindness. Over the years, initiatives and attention toward kindness have increased, supported by the consolidation of practices such as empathy, tolerance, and respect for others.

The International Day of Persons with Disabilities was established in 1981 with the aim of promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities, emphasizing the principle of equality and the need to ensure their full and effective participation in the political, social, economic, and cultural spheres of society. The “Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,” adopted in 2006, urges States to take measures to identify and eliminate barriers that hinder the respect of these fundamental rights, focusing on the need for conditions that allow persons with disabilities to live independently and participate fully in all aspects of life and development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is also based on the principle that no one should be left behind, including persons with disabilities.
