Olá a todos,
Today is World Humanitarian Day (WHD)!

This day aims to honour those who, in the service of others and in the defence of humanitarian causes, risk their lives on the front lines, often in inhospitable war zones.
Every year, this day focuses on a specific theme, bringing together partners from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival, well-being, and dignity of people affected by crises, as well as the safety of humanitarian workers.
Despite universally accepted international laws, attacks on humanitarian workers and assets continue to occur. This year, the campaign calls for an end to these violations of international laws and the impunity with which they are committed. It urges those in power to act now to ensure the protection of these people #ActForHumanity.

This day is crucial for us to reflect and stay informed about what is happening around us.
See you soon,
