This week is all about the call for safe roads for pedestrian safety all around the world. The Long Short Walk has had massive participation from all around the world and we are happy to share our first set of photos from our Global Youth Network for Road Safety! They illustrate vibrancy and the enthusiasm of youth and you can see them here!
It has been a great week for advocacy in this Second United Nations Global Road Safety Week which calls for pedestrian safety all across the world. People passionate about road safety have participated in the Long Short Walk all around the world already and as the week comes to an end, lots of young people are still sending us photos for the the Global Youth Network for Road Safety contirubtion to the campaign.
Safe Walking should be a right for all. Around a quarter of the 1.3 million people killed on the world´s roads are pedestrians. Many are children.
There is still time to take part although photos will not be entered into the competition now. We will be announcing the winner over the next few week! In the mean time, check out some of our photos in the gallery on the right and some below! We have had participation from around 30 countries so far and have branded and posted the submissions into the global Long Short Walk Campaign.
