Today is World Food Day! World Food Day is an international day celebrated every year worldwide on October 16 to commemorate the date of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. The world's farmers produce enough food to feed more than the global population, yet hunger persists due to various factors like weather shocks, conflicts, economic downturns, inequality, and the pandemic. Approximately 733 million people are facing hunger, impacting the poor and vulnerable most severely, including agricultural households. Food is considered the third most basic human need, and everyone should have the right to adequate food. Human rights such as the right to food, life, liberty, work, and education are recognized by international declarations and covenants.

October is National Domestic Violence Month. October was first declared as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month in 1989. Since then, October has been a time to acknowledge domestic violence survivors and be a voice for its victims. Communities and advocacy organizations across the country connect with the public and one another throughout the month to raise awareness about the signs of abuse and ways to stop it, and to uplift survivor stories and provide additional resources to leaders and policymakers.
