Zero Discrimination Day History (1 March)
Zero Discrimination Day aims to celebrate individuality, inclusion and, human rights. It also aims to promote tolerance, compassion, and peace. Discrimination refers to the selective practice of unfairly treating a person or a group of people differently than others due to factors such as religion, gender, race, sexuality, age, or disability. Despite laws and education, discrimination continues to be a wide-spread problem throughout the world.
The UN and other global organizations officially celebrated the day in an effort to promote everyone’s right to live a full life with dignity regardless of age, gender, sexuality, nationality, ethnicity, skin color, height, weight, profession, education, and beliefs.

ABOUT THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Branch in trampling on due process, the Fourth Amendment right to privacy, and checks and balances in the War on Terrorism ignited by 9/11. The second traces the abandonment of liberty and a fair opportunity of all to develop their faculties and pursue their ambitions free from domestic predation or foreign aggression as the glory of the United States in favor of Empire in which the summum bonum is word domination by force of arms and the armored knight eclipses wisdom and benevolence in public adulation.
