International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on March 21st. It was established by the United Nations to commemorate the Sharpeville massacre, which occurred on March 21, 1960, in South Africa.

This day serves as a reminder of the importance of eliminating all forms of racial discrimination and promoting tolerance, inclusion, and respect for diversity. It provides an opportunity for individuals, communities, and governments worldwide to reaffirm their commitment to combating racism and fostering a more just and equitable society for all.
