International Day of Mine Awareness

International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, observed annually on April 4th, is a solemn reminder of the devastating impact of landmines and explosive remnants of war on communities worldwide. Falling on the same date each year, this day serves to raise awareness about the threats posed by landmines, as well as the importance of mine clearance and support for affected individuals and communities.

Recognized by the United Nations, the International Day for Mine Awareness underscores the urgent need to address the ongoing dangers of landmines and other explosive hazards. It also highlights the crucial role of mine action in safeguarding lives, restoring livelihoods, and promoting peace and stability in conflict-affected regions.
