International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is March 21st

Everyone in the world is entitled to human rights without discrimination, yet racism, xenophobia, intolerance, and discriminatory practices happen all over the world. 

The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in the Declaration without distinction of race or any other kind. 

Today is a day to be reminded that we still have a long way to go to eliminate racial discrimination and that we should all be making an effort to combat it.
