International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." March 21 is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, when we collectively call for an end to personal and institutional racism. Racial Intolerance hinders progress and sets barriers to the limitless potential of young people around the world. Left unchecked, racial intolerance can take hold and escalate into full scale conflicts and genocide. Take action today: commit to a world free from discrimination!
