International Anti-Racism Day

International Anti-Racism Day is observed on March 21 each year to raise awareness about racism and promote equality and justice. This day commemorates the 1960 Sharpeville massacre in South Africa, where peaceful protesters against apartheid were killed. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle against racism in all its forms and encourages individuals and communities to take action against discrimination. Events, marches, and discussions are organized globally to foster a culture of respect and understanding among diverse populations, emphasizing the importance of unity in the fight for human rights.
