21 серпня. Міжнародний день пам'яті і поминання жертв тероризму

Терористичні акти - це глобальна загроза всьому людству. Теракти в США, країнах ЄС та Україні демонструють, що тероризм являється всесвітньою проблемою. З кожним роком зростає кількість жертв терористичних актів. Мета тероризму залишається єдиною: залякування населення, створення небезпеки для життя та здоров’я людей, знищення та порушення встановленого порядку. В цей день, варто вшанувати пам'ять всіх загиблих від терактів.

Слово дня: “ЖЕРТВА" -  той, хто загинув від нещасного випадку, від руки ворога. Той, над ким знущаються, проявляють насилля.

Організація допомагає жертвам насильства знайти притулок та підтримку.
