Kyiv • UNN
March 25 is the International Day of the Unborn Child, the Day of the Security Service of Ukraine, World Retrospective Day and the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery.
Today, March 25, is the International Day of the Unborn Child. It was introduced to remind us of the value of human life at every stage, even in the womb. Also on this day, employees of the Security Service of Ukraine celebrate their professional holiday, writes UNN.
International Day of the Unborn Child
It is celebrated every year on March 25 as a day of remembrance for unborn children. This day is a reminder of the importance of protecting human life. It was established to protest against abortions and to emphasize the value of life from the moment of conception.
The first country to officially celebrate this day was El Salvador, where it was introduced in 1993. Since then, many countries have joined the initiative and started celebrating their own Days of Remembrance for the Unborn Child.
World Retrospective Day
The word "retrospective" (from the Latin "retrospectare") means "to look back". Therefore, the term "retro" is used to refer to everything that has already passed into the past. World Retrospective Day was founded to emphasize the importance and value of retrospectives when it comes to implementing flexible principles or structures.
This event was first celebrated on February 6, 2018. Little is known about its founders - only a community page on Facebook remains. However, this movement has gained popularity around the world as many coaches, trainers, consultants and other volunteers have joined in spreading the practice of conducting retrospectives.
The day is dedicated to promoting the practice of retrospectives in teams and organizations, encouraging reflection, continuous improvement and teamwork. It is a great opportunity for teams to come together and focus on continuous improvement, strengthen teamwork and build a culture of learning and growth within the organization.

Day of the Security Service of Ukraine
The holiday was established by the Decree of the President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma on March 22, 2001.
After the proclamation of independence of Ukraine on August 24, 1991, the issue of liquidating the Soviet system of state security bodies in the country and creating new state institutions designed to protect the sovereignty of our state and solve other tasks in the field of national security immediately arose.
On September 20, 1991, the parliament voted to create the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), liquidating the Committee of State Security of the Ukrainian SSR. In the period from November 1991 to February 1992, the Main Intelligence Directorate, the Main Counterintelligence Directorate, the Department "K" (combating corruption and organized crime) and a number of other main and auxiliary units were created within the SBU. On March 25, 1992, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the law "On the Security Service of Ukraine".

International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade
Observed since 2008. This International Day of the United Nations was established by the UN General Assembly in 2007.
In November 2006, the UN General Assembly decided to celebrate March 25 as the International Day for the Commemoration of the 200th Anniversary of the Abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This was done to honor the memory of those who died in slavery and in the struggle for liberation from slavery. At the end of 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on states to annually celebrate March 25 as the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
The transatlantic slave trade was the largest act of deportation in history. Lasting from the 16th to the 19th century, the slave trade covered several regions and continents (Africa, North and South America, Europe and the Caribbean). During this process, millions of Africans were sold into slavery for forced exploitation.
