UN Poetry: Sauti poems
As part of the United Nations’ World Mental Health Month in October 2020, the Mental Health and Wellbeing Team launched a system-wide poetry initiative inviting colleagues around the world to share poems in any language, style or form.
The first volume, Sauti: Poems of Healing (2021), was followed by a second edition in 2022, reflecting the growing resonance of the initiative across the UN community. In 2024, a third volume, Sauti: Poems of Hope, was published, continuing to explore themes of connection, resilience and shared humanity through poetry. In 2026, the fourth volume, Sauti: Poems of Love, further expanded the initiative by welcoming voices from across and beyond the UN community, including family members, retirees and contributors from around the world.
