Introduction
In a friendly tone
Nov. 1: World Vegan Day
World Vegan Day is an annual event that promotes veganism. It was first celebrated in 1977, and the day was invented by Leslie Cross (a British animal rights activist), who wanted to promote a plant-based diet for health reasons. The date chosen for this awareness day is November 1 each year because it’s also World Food Day on October 16th every year!
The first World Vegan Day took place in 1978 when over 4 million people attended rallies around the world to promote veganism as an alternative lifestyle choice for all humans on Earth who want peace rather than war between nations or groups of people; not only between us humans but also animals like cows who don’t want anyone else using them as food sources just because they’re cute little creatures named “cows”.
Nov. 2: All Souls Day
All Souls Day is a Christian holiday dedicated to remembering the dead. It is celebrated on November 2nd, the day after Halloween. On All Souls Day, Catholics pray for the deceased and ask for their intercession.
On this day, Catholics go to church dressed in their best suit or dress as they remember loved ones who have passed away and could not come out at night anymore because of cold weather conditions or other reasons that prevented them from attending Mass.
The main reason why we celebrate All Souls Day so much is because it gives us an opportunity to reflect on our lives and all those who have been lost in our family tree throughout history; especially those who were close friends during childhood days.
Nov. 4: International Day for the Prevention of Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict
On November 4th, it is International Day for the Prevention of Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict. This day has been observed since 2002 by The United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness about environmental exploitation as a weapon used by warring parties in armed conflict.
The importance of this day cannot be overstated: there are many ways you can make an impact on protecting our environment from those who would use it for their own gain!
Nov. 5: Guy Fawkes Night (also known as Bonfire Night)
Guy Fawkes Night is a celebration of the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, which was an attempt to assassinate King James I of England and VI of Scotland, his family, and most of the Protestant aristocracy in 1605. It is held annually on 5 November in memory.
Guy Fawkes’ mask has become synonymous with this event; it’s also known as Bonfire Night (in Scotland), Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night (in Ireland), Guido da Polignano (in Italy) and Patrick Sarsfield Day (in Northern Ireland).
Nov. 9: World Freedom Day
World Freedom Day is a day to remember those who have given their lives in pursuit of freedom, and it is also a day to celebrate the freedom we enjoy. It is celebrated annually on 9 November. The anniversary honors those who fought for justice and civil rights, as well as those who continue to fight for these causes today.
World Freedom Day was first observed in 1990 by several organizations around the world (including Amnesty International) in honor of Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday; however, it wasn’t until 2000 that an official declaration was made by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan following his visit to South Africa at that time that year where he stated: “The world must mark this day with action.”
Nov. 11: Remembrance Day (Veterans Day) in Canada and the United Kingdom; Veterans Day in the U.S.
Remembrance Day is a national holiday in Canada and the United Kingdom that honors members of the armed forces who have served in the U.S. military. The holiday originated after World War I and was originally called Armistice Day. It is observed on November 11th every year to commemorate those who died during wartime or were wounded during conflicts, as well as those who are still serving today.
In Canada it’s known as Remembrance Day; however, many people refer to it simply as Veterans’ Day because it doesn’t specifically mention veterans by name (i.e., “Veterans”). In the United States—where most states observe Thanksgiving right before or after Remembrance Day—it’s recognized as both Veterans’ Day and Armed Forces Appreciation Week (AFAW).
Nov. 13: World Kindness Day
World Kindness Day is a day to express kindness towards others, and spread positive vibes. It’s a day to do something kind for someone else.
You can get involved by doing small acts of kindness like lending money, donating food or clothes, or helping someone who needs it. You could also help out at an animal shelter or rescue center by volunteering your time or donating money if you have it available.
Nov 20: Universal Children’s Day
Universal Children’s Day is an international holiday celebrated each year on November 20. The day was created by the United Nations in 1959 and it’s meant to celebrate the right of children worldwide, their importance in society and their rights.
November 20: Universal Children’s Day
December 10: International Day for Mine Awareness (IMA)
Nov 21 World Television Day
World Television Day is a global event that aims to raise awareness of the importance of television in our lives. The day was first celebrated in 2002 and it’s now celebrated on November 21 every year.
The theme for this year’s celebration is “Television: The New Social Media.” The United Nations General Assembly designated November 21 as an international day for celebration of world television, which will take place from 8 a.m.-2 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
Nov 25 International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (International Women’s Rights Day)
Violence against women is a global issue, and it’s important to recognize the importance of this day. Violence against women is a violation that affects every one of us, as well as our families and communities. The UN’s Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women states that “violence against women is a serious public health concern,” which means that it has tremendous impact on how we live our lives—and how we can improve them!
Violence against women often goes unnoticed or dismissed simply because we don’t think it happens here in America (or anywhere else). However, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in three women globally will experience physical violence during her lifetime—and this number rises to one in two among young girls aged 15-19 years old. In addition to physical injuries resulting from attacks like rape or domestic abuse; psychological effects include PTSD symptoms such as depression/anxiety disorders after experiencing trauma at an early age; posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms including nightmares/flashbacks of traumatic events; social isolation due to lack communication skills between family members who live together across continents; mental health issues like depression secondary only because someone else did something wrong but simply because life isn’t fair sometimes!
