International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

CHILDREN DON'T KNOW ABOUT DISCRIMINATION

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is celebrated on 21 March. On that day, in 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa. It was against the apartheid "pass laws". The day was celebrated for the first time in 1966 when the the General Assembly called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination.Since then, the apartheid system in South Africa has been reduced. Racist laws  have been eliminated in many countries, and mos of the people fight against racism. 


The first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that :

all human beings are born free and equal 
in dignity and rights”. 
The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination reminds us of our collective responsibility for promoting and protecting this ideal.

  • Do you have friends from other race?
  • What do you think of this celebration? is it important?
