World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims The World Day
of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims was started by RoadPeace
in 1993. Since then it has been observed and promoted worldwide
by several NGOs, including the European Federation of Road
Traffic Victims (FEVR) and its associated organizations. On 26
October 2005, the United Nations endorsed it as a global day to
be observed every third Sunday in November each year, making it
a major advocacy day for road traffic injury prevention. WHO and
the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration encourage
governments and NGOs around the world to commemorate this day.
