EUROPEAN WEEK AGAINST RACISM (EWAR)
Theme: Make hate crime visible – Report Racism!
March 21st, International Day Against Racism
March 21st is International Day Against Racism, a day when the people across the globe show their opposition to racism. This annual event declared as a memorial by the United Nations in response to the murder of 69 anti-apartheid demonstrators in Sharpeville, South Africa, in 1960.
European Week Against Racism
European Week Against Racism centres on International Day Against Racism and is co-ordinated in Ireland by the Irish Network Against Racism (INAR). This Year, the focus is on making hate crime visible by reporting racist incidents. To find out how to report a racist incident, visit www.reportracism.ie
