21 March, The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. On that day, in 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid pass laws.
Proclaiming the day in 1966, the United Nations General Assembly called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination.
The theme for 2018 is “Promoting tolerance, inclusion, unity and respect for diversity in the context of combating racial discrimination”.
United Against Racism (UAR) has been marking this day over the past number of years by organising public rallies and events.
UAR’s main focus is to campaign against racism but we are also opposed to all other forms of oppression and discrimination including sexism, anti-trans discrimination, homophobia, discrimination against the disabled, people with mental health difficulties and religious minorities. We stand in solidarity with groups, movements and campaigns working to oppose all these forms of oppression.
In accordance with our principle above we would like to mark this day as a salute to struggle of women in many areas of life and re-iterate our solidarity with women against many forms of oppression, discrimination and racism.
