Democracy refers to a state in which citizens have the right to take part in the decision-making
process for their country, and not being controlled by a government. It is closely connected to
human rights. Democracies can only be achieved when all citizens have the right to vote and
participate in elections, regardless of race, gender, or any other factors that are related to
inclusion or equality.
A safe and peaceful society is dependent on democracy. Without democracy, life can face
incomprehensible challenges. People may take their freedoms as a given in a free society.
Democracy is still a dream for many people in many parts of the world. Democracy Day this year
will be about media freedom, democracy, peace, and achieving the Sustainable Development
Goals.
HISTORY OF THE INTERNATIONAL DEMOCRACY DAY
In 2007, the United Nations General Assembly (UN) decided that September 15 would be
recognized as the International Day of Democracy. This day was established to encourage
government participation in maintaining open democracy among all UN Charter member
countries. It also celebrates the system of values that democracy promotes and gives citizens the
ability to make all aspects of their own lives decisions.

4. The UN's mission is to promote democratic societies all over the
globe. It serves many purposes, including monitoring elections
and strengthening democratic institutions.
The foundation of democracy is its citizens' ability to participate in
the nation's decision-making process. This was true from the time
democracy was founded in ancient Greece thousands of years
ago. This is possible only if everyone can vote without regard to
race, gender, or other factors. Inclusion and equality are essential
for a democratic society's success. We have a representative
democracy in America. This means that we elect representatives
to represent us collectively to vote on decisions.
Reflection on your freedoms and the current state of democracy
in the country will help you to identify the ways that you are
involved in collective decision-making.
Aristotle wrote extensively about different types of government,
including democracy, to help compare them and determine which
one was most effective. These writings are influential in the
development of modern democracy. International Day provides an
opportunity to reflect on the state of democracy worldwide. Each
year, a particular theme is highlighted. Previous themes include
stronger democracies and the importance of democracy for the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They also highlight the
need to strengthen citizens' voices, dialogue and inclusion,
accountability, political tolerance, and accountability.

5. How to observe the International Day of Democracy

WHY WE LOVE THE INTERNATIONAL DEMOCRACY DAY
It Gives Power To People
Because democracy gives citizens the right to speak up, it is powerful and allows them to make
their own decisions. This form of government creates space for new economic theories and
ultimately leads to innovation and improvement.

6. It Is Based On The Concept Of Change
Democracies are built on the principle that citizens have the ability to change their
circumstances when needed. If things are going well citizens can maintain the status quo.
However, if things do not go according to plan, citizens have the power to remove the old and
replace them with the new.
It Is Based On Equality
The founding documents of democratic government placed a great emphasis on equality. One
person, one vote -- no matter your status or who you are. This idea may not have been popular
throughout the centuries but equal rights under the law are central to democratic governments.
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a
point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism:
ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power"-
Franklin D. Roosevelt
