United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent

The United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024) is an initiative aimed at promoting the rights and well-being of people of African descent worldwide. It focuses on three main pillars: recognition, justice, and development. The UN seeks to address the historical injustices faced by these communities, celebrate their contributions to society, and ensure equal opportunities. It encourages countries to implement policies that combat racism and discrimination, fostering a more inclusive and equitable society for all. This decade serves as a platform to raise awareness and advocate for the rights of people of African descent globally.
