World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims – Sunday 18 November 2018
This Sunday TISPOL will unite with organisations and individuals across the world to mark the 2018 World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims
<spanGeorgia’,serif; color: #353638;”>The event has a long history. From 1995, road victim organisations under the umbrella of the European Federation of Road Traffic Victims (FEVR) observed this Day together – first as the European Day of Remembrance, but soon as World Day when NGOs from Africa, South America and Asia, who were associated members of FEVR, joined.
<spanGeorgia’,serif; color: #353638;”>10 years later – on 26th October 2005 – the World Day was adopted by the UN General Assembly as “the appropriate acknowledgement for victims of road traffic crashes and their families”.
<spanGeorgia’,serif; color: #353638;”>This year, as in previous years, events are being held across the world to remember people killed on our roads.
<spanGeorgia’,serif; color: #353638;”>Watch the official video – ‘Roads have Stories’ – below.
<spanGeorgia’,serif; color: #353638;”>One by one the lives are lost,
One by one, we mourn their loss,
One by one, we count the cost,
One by one is one too many.
