Zero Discrimination Day
On Zero Discrimination Day, 1 March, we celebrate the right of everyone to live a full and productive life and live it with dignity. Zero Discrimination Day highlights how people can become informed about and promote inclusion, compassion, peace and, above all, a movement for change. Zero Discrimination Day is helping to create a global movement of solidarity to end all forms of discrimination.
On this day our members and partners also know that there should be a movement for change so they use their voice in social media to inform their community and many more people about inclusion, compassion and peace.
At EFDN, we have various programmes to tackle this and to start the changing movement in our community. With these programmes, we want our community to become informed about and promote inclusion, compassion, peace and, above all, a movement for change.
