World Calendar Day

Dia de la Mujer

National holiday since 2024. The marches through Santiago are among the largest in Latin America, filling the Alameda from La Moneda to Baquedano with green scarves and fierce conviction. Chilean feminism has its own voice and it does not ask permission.

Mokolo ya Mwasi

National holiday. Congolese women carry this country on their backs: the markets, the homes, the hospitals, the schools. Today is for the mama who sold fish at Marche Central to send her children to school, the mama who walked ten kilometers with a basket on her head, the mama who made a way when there was no way.

Animals of Lesotho Day

You see elands, baboons, and bearded vultures across Lesotho's high mountain plateaus and grasslands. You typically keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as household pets in Lesotho. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
