13th November - World Kindness Day 2020

The objective of World Kindness Day is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us. Kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and zip codes.

This year I advocated Kindness within the Australian Police Force. Sharing many concerns to be addressed in the National Integrity Commission, I called upon the Australian Police Force to sign the World Kindness Movement declaration emailing many members across Australia regarding dehumanization in leadership and the need for a kinder approach to Australian policing especially among socioeconomic disadvantaged demographics.

World Kindness Day is an international observance on 13 November. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a coalition of nations' kindness NGOs. It is observed in many countries, including Canada, Australia, Nigeria and United Arab Emirates. Singapore observed the day for the first time in 2009.
