An awareness day is a date set aside by the United Nations, the World Health Organization or another body to draw attention to a single subject: an illness, a right, an environmental concern. A fixed date gives campaigners and the media a reliable occasion to inform the public. Open Data Insights lists a selection of the international awareness days observed tomorrow, each with a link to a fuller description.
Tomorrow, October 8, features two awareness days. World Octopus Day focuses on octopuses, with its Wikipedia link pointing to a general list of environmental dates rather than a dedicated page. International Lesbian Day celebrates lesbians, their culture, history, and diversity, and is primarily observed in New Zealand and Australia, though its exact origin is uncertain.
