Celebrate International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination 2024

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD) has been a focus for the past several years for the Workers of Colour Multicultural Mentorship Committee and Young Workers Committee because we see racism, we experience racism, and we want desperately to end racism. The prejudices fueled by racial discrimination happen on a personal level, but also in a systemic way.

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination 2024

Thursday, March 21st, 2024 is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. 

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on the day police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass laws" in 1960. Since that day, the apartheid system in South Africa has been dismantled and racist laws and practices have been abolished in many countries; however far too many people continue to experience racial discrimination.
