May 2011 – WHO Decade of Action for Road Safety

In May 2011, the BJD was proud to support the launch of the WHO Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 which seeks to save 5 million lives over the ten-year period. The National Action Network in Brazil worked closely with the Archbishop and local authorities of Rio to mark the launch of the Decade of Action for Road Safety by a celebratory mass and the illumination of the Statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro with the road safety “tag”.
