On March 21, the International community marks the UN’s Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

The date commemorates the 1960 Sharpeville massacre where government forces in apartheid-era South Africa murdered 69 people following a peaceful protest against racial discrimination. The theme for 2018 is Promoting tolerance, inclusion, unity and respect for diversity in the context of combating racial discrimination.
