The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery is observed each year on December 2. This date was established by the UN General Assembly in 1986 to reinforce global commitment to ending contemporary forms of slavery, including human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and forced labor. It also commemorates the adoption of the 1949 Convention on the Suppression of Trafficking and Exploitation of Prostitution. Over time, the observance has served as a reminder for nations to strengthen policies, raise awareness, and support victims, contributing to the ongoing global fight to eradicate all forms of slavery.
