As the ride of our lives continues, we cross the rugged roads of our journey. And at this moment where the world is in turmoil, we face a global health crisis pushing and threatening the social and economic aspects in the negative direction. As the UN celebrates its 75th anniversary, we are challenged to build solidarity and conduct global cooperation all around the world to shape the future we want.
With the aim to foster cooperative action to achieve peace, prosperity, and human rights for all, the United Nations which was founded in 1945 continues to organize high-level meetings for unity. The UN75 initiative seeks to spark a debate on how to resolve global problems and emphasize how action is more urgent than ever. By highlighting cooperation across the borders and in different generations, it shows that the way we respond to a crisis is the wisest form of defense against all the pressing obstacles.
UN75 has developed alliances with youth, civil society, business, and media organizations. It is linked with the focus on encouraging all voices often marginalized to speak up in global affairs and deliver ideas for the world's progress and advancement. At this point, strengthening online engagement through virtual dialogues and social media helps spread information about relevant news updates especially for Covid-19 since it is what we are currently battling.
We already have the medium and the voice, the only thing left needed is the courage to speak up. During these tough times where uncertainty embraces our minds, you may want to share your views and join #UN75 to spread your personal opinions and raise relevant concerns. The UN General assembly will take part in presenting the people's views to the world leaders and senior UN officials for the commemoration of the 75th Anniversary. In light of this global dialogue, the birth of a new platform is coming to tackle priorities and generate proposals for the succeeding years.
Every action that encourages individuals to be aware of social issues is an opportunity for self-pondering. Starting campaigns, movements and, spreading simple good acts impacts positively and for other scenarios, it would inspire international and local organizations to initiate similar actions.
