One Big Thing: Who are the #RealLifeHeros in your life? Answer here What is it? Today is World Humanitarian Day, an official United Nations day to honor and recognized all humanitarians around the world who are risking their lives on the front lines every day. Last year was the most violent year on record for humanitarians, with 483 attacked, 125 killed, 234 wounded and 124 kidnapped. This represents almost a 20 percent increase from the 2018 figures. Why is it important? The first World Humanitarian Day was celebrated in 2009. Since then, nearly 5,000 humanitarians have been killed, injured or disappeared. We condemn these attacks, and call for accountability for perpetrators and justice for survivors. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for humanitarian workers is greater than ever. People from across the globe have answered the call to serve a cause greater than themselves. What can you do? Check out #RealLifeHeros on Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms to learn about some of the unsung humanitarian heroes around the world. Join us at
