International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination - March 21

March 21 marks the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a pivotal moment championed by the United Nations. This day serves as a global reminder of the persistent struggle against racism and the urgent need for collective action. It commemorates the tragic events of 1960 in Sharpeville, South Africa, where peaceful demonstrators against apartheid were met with violence.

Today, it calls upon individuals, communities, and nations to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that remain. By fostering dialogue, promoting understanding, and advocating for equality, we work towards a world where diversity is celebrated and discrimination is a relic of the past.
