“We must lift up the voices of victims
and survivors of terrorist attacks, who consistently call for accountability and results. When we respect the human rights of victims and provide them with support and information, we reduce the lasting damage done by terrorists to
individuals, communities and societies.”

Today we remember and honour the victims and survivors of terrorism.
Acts of terrorism create a wave of unimaginable grief.
Families and communities torn apart by terrorist acts are forever changed.
The scars – both visible and invisible – never fully heal.
Through the torment and tragedy, we have also witnessed remarkable examples of resilience and the enduring power of our common humanity.
This year’s theme is “Voices for Peace: Victims of Terrorism as Peace Advocates and Educators”.
We pay tribute to all victims and survivors, including those who have chosen to share their stories about perseverance, and forgiveness.
Reflecting on personal trauma to educate others is an act of immense courage.
This day urges us to listen and to learn.
And it is a reminder that we must always seek out the light of hope.
Together, we can raise up the voices of all victims and survivors.
Together, we can help educate present and future generations.
Together, we can build more peaceful, resilient societies for all.

in the midst of terrorism's . . .
"lawless" killings and maimings
at all costs.
A dismal reality indeed . . .
utterly against "Humanity's"
precious creed!
In Our Times when "PEACE"
should proceed . . .
terrorism yet will not heed!
We shall never forget!
We shall remember from
January - December!
May the spirit of Humanity
continue to remember and
honor the "Victims"
of terrorism in
every place
Around the World!
