International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

March 21st is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. What was birthed from a dark incident in history has evolved into a global movement that recognizes and pushes against prejudice and inequity via education and action.

We still have much work to be done when it comes to addressing racial discrimination. The JHC is committed to continuing its mandate to educate the public about human rights, and to support projects and events that address racial discrimination.
