About World Hunger Day
Safety & Security , Civil Rights
Ends: May 28, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
The Hunger Project originated World Hunger Day in 2011 to recognize the 2.4 billion food-insecure people globally. Food insecurity involves a lack of access to food and the scarcity of nutritious food. Often poor people are forced to rely on inexpensive processed and fast food for sustenance, and both lack the nutrition necessary to thrive.
The US Senate recognized the day beginning in 2022 to highlight the Ukrainian Famine of 1932–1933, known as the Holodomor (Death by hunger), an example of repressive Soviet policies.
Ukraine displayed a rebellious streak toward the new communist nation by seeking independence, and Stalin wanted to teach them a lesson. It was the height of the Great Depression when food was scarce worldwide. Stalin collected the Soviet Union's harvest and exported it, at a profit, to Europe, leaving the Ukrainian people without food for the winter. The tactic resulted in over 25% of Ukraine's rural population, an estimated five million people, starving to death or forced to migrate.
For context, the deadly famine of Somalia in 1992 and again in 2010-2012 resulted in less than 300,000 deaths each.
The top five global famines are:
The Great Chinese Famine 1959-61: 20-50 million dead
Chinese Famine Of 1907: 25 million
Chalisa And South India Famines 1782-84: 11 million
Bengali Famine Of 1770: 10 million
Holodomar, Ukraine, 1932-33: 5 million
The US Senate acknowledged the event to raise awareness of Russian brutality against Ukrainians, both of which are at war. The United States supports Ukraine. Holodomor stands on its own, should be acknowledged, and is a cautionary tale of government overreach and how quickly the people suffer when one of life's necessities, food, is withheld.
