Are you celebrating 21 March?

Youth for Human Rights International - South Asia
Making Human Rights a Global Reality

A message to all members of Youth for Human Rights International - South Asia

Note: The following message is addressed to the Indian members of the site. Others are kindly requested to get in touch with their country heads for assistance.



21 March is 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 General Assembly called on the International Community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination.



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 R acial Discrimination reminds us of our collective responsibility for promoting and protecting this ideal.



Youth for Human Rights is planning to celebrate this day by having Petition Drives all over India. Groups of Bangalore, Chennai, Morena, Kolar Gold Fields, Surupur and many others are celebrating the day. Will you join them?



All the people interested to conduct the event in their town/city are requested to contact us.
