The International Day of Democracy is a global observance celebrated annually on September 15. It was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007 to promote and uphold the principles of democracy worldwide. The date was chosen to commemorate the first free and democratic elections in South Africa in 1994. Democracy is a system of government based on equality, freedom, and justice, and it allows people to choose their leaders and make decisions about their country. The day is an opportunity to reflect on progress made towards democracy, reaffirm commitment to its values, and work towards a more just and equitable world.
