World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day
8 May is World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day—a global day to celebrate the uniqueness and unity of our International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
2023 theme
World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day is a time to celebrate the spirit of humanitarianism and recognize the individuals who make a difference in their communities.
This year, on 8 May, we want to highlight the universal, human, and diverse aspects of our Movement by focussing on our volunteers and their involvement within our communities.
Get involved!

We would like you to create and share with us short video clips showcasing genuine interactions between Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers and staff and the communities they’re in.
We’d like to see them featured in action responding to crises, helping with a community initiative, or checking in on their neighbours. The more genuine, spontaneous, emotional and dynamic the better!
