18th September: Respect Day

Respect Day is being observed September 18^th. Respect Day has been created to encourage people to focus more on ways in which they can be respectful to others.

For many the day involves being more attentive to loved ones, but it can really be used as a catalyst for treating any people with a more polite approach.

There are no rules surrounding ways in which you could celebrate this year, it’s really down to you. You could take your wife or husband out for a romantic meal, you could visit an elderly relative or you could endeavour to be more encouraging to others.

Domestic violence affects one in three women around the world, and close to one in four women in the United States have experienced violence at the hands of a current or former partner. Millions of children in the United States live in families where partner violence has occurred.

Of course, respect isn’t something that should only be given once a year and hopefully the day will inspire people to think more about how they treat others all year around.
