International Day of the Disappeared

The International Day of the Disappeared, on August 30th, helps people remember and think about those who have gone missing. It's a day to support families who don't know where their loved ones are because they might have been taken by someone, like in a war or because of a disagreement. People around the world use this day to ask for help in finding these missing people and to make sure it doesn't happen to more families. It's important to remember that everyone should feel safe and no one should disappear without a trace.
