International We Are Not Broken Day- January 17th, 2025

We observe International We Are Not Broken Day on January 17. The day creates awareness about the fact that, despite what society thinks of individuals with a history of physical and emotional trauma, mental illness, amputations, or disorders that seem invisible, they are human beings — and our neighbors. The word ‘broken’ indicates something that is not working. Trauma and disease, however, should not define what or who we are. But if we give in to this ‘broken’ tag, it can easily lead to depression, isolation, and misplaced guilt. International We Are Not Broken Day seeks to end this cycle, challenging societal norms.
