December 2 is the day for the Abolition of Slavery
December 2 is the day for the Abolition of Slavery. This date was chosen to commemorate the importance of the fight against slavery and the need to eradicate all forms of exploitation and forced labor. The origin of this celebration dates back to the United Nations General Assembly, which, in 1985, adopted Resolution 40/36, establishing the day as a way to recognize the fight against slavery and honor those who suffered the consequences of this crime against humanity. The date also serves to promote awareness of human rights and the need to protect people vulnerable to contemporary forms of slavery, such as human trafficking and slave labor.
