International Day of the Victims of Enforced DisappearancesInternational Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances is a global observance focused on remembering the victims of enforced absences and supporting the initiatives aimed at eliminating this practice. The purpose of this day is to draw attention to the thousands of individuals who have disappeared without a trace, often in situations involving conflict or state-sponsored violence. Raising awareness about the impact of enforced disappearances on victims and their families is crucial in order to prevent future occurrences and promote justice for those affected. The United Nations General Assembly declared the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances in December 2010, and the observance occurred for the first time on August 30, 2011. In Canada, this day holds particular significance as it relates to the ongoing efforts to address the disproportionate number of Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or been murdered. The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) has highlighted the need for meaningful action to address the human rights issues faced by Indigenous communities, particularly those stemming from systemic marginalization and dislocation. In Canada, various organizations and individuals observe International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances by holding events, discussions, and vigils that bring attention to the issue, emphasize the importance of providing support to the victims' families, and urge the government to implement effective measures to address the root causes. These events usually take place on or around August 30th, the established date for the observance worldwide. By recognizing this day and engaging in awareness-raising activities, Canadians are taking an active role in joining the global effort to put an end to enforced disappearances and providing support to those who have lost loved ones in such tragic circumstances.
