International Day for the Abolition Of Slavery

International Day For The Abolition Of Slavery is an annual celebration observed on December 2nd of each year. Slavery exists in every nook and corner of the world. The abolition of the slavery is indeed a vital thing for any forms of life. The Day is commemorated to raise awareness of the atrocities of modern day slavery. International Day For The Abolition Of Slavery is the adoption date of the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others approved by the General Assembly.

“Now I’ve been free, I know what a dreadful condition slavery is. I have seen hundreds of escaped slaves, but I never saw one who was willing to go back and be a slave.” – Harriet Tubman

History of International Day for the Abolition Of Slavery

The first occurrence of the International Day For The Abolition Of Slavery was held in the year 1986. It was organized by the United Nations General Assembly. The celebration of the Day falls on the same date on December 2, 1949, the United Nations General Assembly has approved the Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others. The Day focuses on the eradication of the slavery in its contemporary forms. It includes trafficking in persons, sexual exploitation, the worst forms of child labour, forced marriage and forced recruitment of the children for use in the armed conflict.

To recall the convention, a UN report of the Working Group on Slavery suggested that December 2 be proclaimed as the World Day for the Abolition of Slavery in all its forms in 1985. The day was known as the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery by 1995. International Labour Organization (ILO) states that of about 21 million women, men and children around the world are forced into slavery. Sources say that each year more than one million children are trafficked for cheap labour or sexual exploitation. These types of slaveholding are global problems, and it goes against the article four of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It states that

“no one shall be held in slavery or servitude, slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.”

International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade

Today we honor and remember those who suffered and died as a result of slavery: the victims of the transatlantic slave trade. As many as 15 million men, women, and children were cramped in slave ships, devoid of sanitation and any basic necessities, as part of the trade. Upon arrival at their destination, they faced a new life of perennial hardship and suffering. Enslaved Africans were spread all over the world, but most were sent to the Americas. Ninety-Six percent of those held captive on the coast of Africa were sent to South America and the Caribbean Islands. Not only does today’s holiday honor and remember the victims, but it also keeps one foot grounded in the present, by aiming to raise awareness about the dangers of racism and prejudice.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 62/122 on December 17, 2007. It declared the International Day of Remembrance of tBreaking the Chains by Melvin Edwardshe Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade to be observed annually on March 25, beginning the following year. March 25, 2007, had previously been recognized as the International Day for the Commemoration of the Two-hundredth Anniversary of the Abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which illustrates why March 25 was chosen as the date for today’s holiday. (The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves in the United States had been passed in 1807 and went into effect on January 1, 1808.) The resolution for today’s holiday created it to complement the already existing International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.

Each year, today’s holiday has a different theme. Events are held at the United Nations Headquarters and have also been organized by United Nations Information Centres (UNICs) around the globe. Events have included discussions, visits to slave ruins, film viewings, and cultural performances. Other events apart from the United Nations have also been held around the world.
