International Day of Non-Violence HistoryInternational Day of Non-Violence is a global observance promoting nonviolence as a means to resolve conflicts and build a culture of peace, tolerance, and understanding. This day aims to create awareness about the importance of nonviolent measures to mitigate conflicts, protect human rights, and promote social harmony. It serves as a reminder that nonviolence is not a passive act, but an active pursuit of social justice, demonstrating courage and moral strength. The United Nations General Assembly established International Day of Non-Violence in 2007 to honour the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, a key figure in the Indian independence movement and a pioneer of nonviolent resistance. In Australia, this day holds particular significance, as the country actively supports peacekeeping missions, promotes disarmament, and upholds international law. Moreover, Australians are increasingly showing interest in nonviolent approaches to conflict resolution, both domestically and internationally. This is evident in numerous grassroots organisations, educational institutions, and governmental bodies working together to champion nonviolence, sustainable development, and social justice. Observing International Day of Non-Violence in Australia includes various peace-building activities, such as seminars, discussions, and workshops, that focus on nonviolent communication, conflict resolution, and cultural understanding. These events often involve diverse communities and institutions, including Indigenous Australians and new migrants, to promote inclusiveness and mutual respect. Educational institutions and organisations may also host public lectures, exhibitions, and awareness campaigns related to peace and non-violence. International Day of Non-Violence is observed annually on the 2nd of October, reinforcing Australia's commitment to fostering a more harmonious and peaceful world.
