The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, which is celebrated on November 2, is intended to draw the world's attention to the serious problem of attacks on professional journalists and impunity for their offenders. This day recalls the importance of freedom of the press and freedom of speech as fundamental pillars of a democratic society. Global organizations and human rights groups use this day to actively support and highlight victims, and to demand justice and punishment for those responsible in cases of crimes against journalists. The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists reminds us of the importance of protecting the rights of journalists to ensure an informed public and the preservation of democratic values.

This day is a reminder of the need to provide a safe and supportive educational environment for all students, where they can develop and learn without fear or pressure. The international community and educational institutions use the day to hold various events, educate students about the consequences of violence and bullying, and create programs to prevent cyberbullying. The International Day to End Violence and Bullying at School, including cyberbullying, highlights the importance of solidarity and collaboration in tackling these issues to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all children and young people.
