World NGO Day is being celebrated across the world today. Internationally, the day was started on 27 February 2014 in Finland to recognize and honor all non-governmental and non-profit organizations and the people behind them who work throughout the year. Contribute to the betterment of the society.
According to the World NGO Day website, there are currently more than 10 million NGOs and non-profit organizations operating around the world.
More than 5 crore people are associated with these organizations as volunteers and are rendering services for various fields of humanity. While this day is celebrated in more than 96 countries.
On the other hand, regarding this day, the head of European foreign affairs, Josep Borrell, says that human rights defenders risk their lives to do their work and face threats, including murder, and violent attacks.
He added that this practice threatens the existence of civil society which ultimately undermines peace, sustainable development and the achievement of all human rights.
