The Road Safety Coalition Bangladesh will observe the day in collaboration with NGOs and local media to advocate for concrete measures, such as safer pedestrian crossings, improved lighting, and stricter enforcement, aimed at safeguarding the lives of all road users.

On the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, communities, governments, and road safety advocates from every corner of the globe are coming together under the powerful theme. This day serves not only to honour the victims of road traffic incidents but also to ignite a passionate push for meaningful change that can save lives.

This year’s observance unfolds against a backdrop of staggering global statistics: nearly 1.2 million lives are lost to road crashes each year, with millions more left injured, disabled, or grieving. Yet, rather than succumbing to despair, the 2025 campaign aspires to transform collective grief into a dynamic force for change, fostering hope where it once felt lost.

Remembrance Day serves as a crucial platform to amplify the voices of those affected by road incidents. It underscores the urgent needs of injured survivors and bereaved families and highlights the necessity for access to rehabilitation services, psychological support, and legal assistance. The emphasis is not only on remembering those lost but also on providing concrete support for those left behind.
