Nelson Mandela International Day has enjoyed more than 10 years of global support and solidarity since it was launched by the United Nations in 2009.
This year the world is facing intersecting struggles and challenged. We facing the Covid-19 pandemic that has led to many countries instituting lockdowns that have prevented people from engaging in income-generating activity. We have also seen global anti-racist protests, sparked by events in the US, and, closer to home, gender-based violence continues to rock the nation.
There are few times in history that have called more urgently for solidarity and concerted efforts to take action against poverty and injustice. In 2020 the Nelson Mandela Foundation is focusing its Mandela Day efforts on education and food and nutrition.
