This seeks to make progress in eradicating drug misuse while addressing the various problems the world is currently facing.  One of the biggest challenges facing the globe now that needs to be entirely eradicated from society is drug-related concerns. This can be accomplished by raising youth's awareness of the negative effects of drug misuse and developing in them a feeling of responsibility so that they do not succumb to drugs.

It also aims to draw attention to the difficulties these individuals encounter and to raise money and awareness for vitiligo research. Today is a day to reflect on some of the incredible advancements that have been made over the previous ten years in the fight against this crippling illness. Additionally, the day provides vitiligo patients with a chance to showcase their talents. Photo Credit: Observer voice

By doing so we value the community's neurodiversity and accept it for what it is.  The goal of this day is to create awareness among those who are not on the autistic spectrum so that they see autistic persons as unique individuals rather than as people who require treatment.  The rainbow infinity symbol is used to represent the diversity of autistic persons, as well as the endless possibilities and variations that exist within the autistic community.

All countries require regular, unpaid blood donors to ensure that everyone who needs blood transfusion has access to safe blood.  As a result, we applaud blood transfusion services, blood donor organizations, and other non-governmental organizations for promoting worldwide, national, and local campaigns in order to enhance and extend their voluntary blood donation programs. The day also serves as a call to action for governments and other health-care organizations to provide appropriate resources for blood collection and storage, as well as access to blood transfusions for individuals who are in need.

People are educated about critical facts about brain tumours through various campaigns, events, and discussions. Collaborations in which policymakers, medical professionals, and research institutions work together to support and develop research into advanced brain tumour treatments are likewise set up. Some public awareness initiatives also gather funds to help patients who are unable to afford their treatment.  We honor brain tumour sufferers, their families, healthcare professionals, and caregivers who assist in the treatment of those suffering from the disease. We let them know that we are all in this together and together we are stronger. Photo credit: Netmeds
