The World Day Against the Death Penalty seeks to draw attention to the systemic inequities inherent in the death penalty system. The death penalty disproportionately affects people of color and those with mental illness, and is often applied unfairly or arbitrarily. This day encourages us to consider whether this form of punishment really serves justice.
By publicizing these issues on a global scale, World Day Against the Death Penalty helps to spread awareness about capital punishment around the world. Through public education we can challenge our assumptions about punishment and start a dialogue that hopefully leads to positive change.
World Day Against the Death Penalty brings together individuals, nongovernmental organizations, governments and other like minded stakeholders who work to advocate for repeal or abolition of the death penalty. Through this unified effort, it is possible to promote more humane forms of justice that take into account human rights and dignity.
