What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we ​led.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which is marked every year on 21 March by the Decision of the UN General Assembly, countries around the world are called upon to make efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination, in memory of the day when the police in South Africa killed 69 protesters against the racial separation of the population.

According to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference made on the basis of race, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin with the purpose of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal basis, of human rights and freedoms in the political, economic, cultural, social or any other field of public life constitutes racial discrimination.

Unfortunately, racial discrimination is often an integral part of various ideologies that express or support ideas and theories about the superiority of one group of people based on race, ethnic origin…

And it should not be so.

Let’s start with ourselves, maybe with small steps we can change the world and make it a more beautiful place for all of us to live and coexist!
