A Dia Mundial em Memória das Vítimas de Trânsito (DMVDT) is commemorated on the third Sunday of November each year. It is a global event to remember the many millions who have been killed and seriously injured on the world’s roads, and to acknowledge the suffering of all affected victims, families and communities.
The theme of WDoR 2023 is “Remember. Support. Act.” This theme emphasizes the importance of remembering those who have been lost, supporting those who have been affected, and taking action to prevent future road deaths and injuries.
REMEMBER: We remember the millions of people who have lost their lives or been seriously injured in road crashes. We remember their loved ones, and the pain and grief that they are experiencing. We also remember the emergency services personnel and other first responders who work tirelessly to help those affected by road crashes.
SUPPORT: We support the victims of road crashes and their families. We provide them with emotional and practical support, and we advocate for their rights. We also work to raise awareness of the impact of road crashes, and to promote road safety.
ACT: We take action to prevent future road deaths and injuries. We work with governments, businesses, and civil society organizations to promote road safety policies and practices. We also work to educate the public about road safety, and to encourage people to adopt safe behaviours when traveling.

Encorajamos os parceiros do iRAP a apoiar este evento comemorativo anual; a lembrar das vidas inocentes perdidas, apoiar o apelo global para acabar com os acidentes de trânsito evitáveis e compartilhar suas ações para salvar vidas. O Dia Mundial em Memória das Vítimas de Acidentes de Trânsito continua a desempenhar um papel importante em destacar exatamente o motivo de todas as ações necessárias delineadas no Plano Global.
A iRAP continua apoiando este importante dia, no qual fazemos uma pausa para lembrar e apoiar a lei #, em prol de estradas com classificação de 3 estrelas ou superior para todos os usuários das vias.
With the donor support of the Fundação FIA, iRAP works with partners worldwide to make sure new roads are safe and high-risk existing roads are financed and improved on a scale that matters. Together, we will ensure safe journeys for all road users aligned with important global agendas focussed on road safety, child health, climate, transport, gender and urban mobility.
