Daily Holidays - July 11

International Town Crier's Day In olden times, when few people were literate, and there was little access to printed media, town criers were a central part of urban living. Town criers were responsible for keeping the populace up to date with the latest news and events, and for disseminating news from the ruling classes to the wider populace. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/town-crier-day/

World Population Day Population Day aims to raise awareness of global population issues. Hunger, disease, warfare, welfare and human rights are key themes, and 2012 focuses specifically on ensuring universal access to reproductive health services. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/population-day/
