August 30th is celebrated as International Day of the Disappeared, designated to raise awareness about the fate of individuals who have been detained, abducted, or disappeared in the context of conflict or political repression. The day calls for action to support the families of the disappeared and to seek justice and accountability for these human rights violations.
Additionally, August 30th marks the birth of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley in 1797, the English novelist best known for her Gothic novel “Frankenstein.” Shelley’s groundbreaking work has had a profound impact on literature and popular culture, exploring themes of creation, ambition, and the consequences of scientific experimentation.
