United against racism

🚫INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

🎬This short video from UNESCO featuring leading personalities from all over world reminds us how racism has permeated humanity's recent history from the Holocaust to Jim Crow Laws to South African apartheid. Now in 2025, racist laws and practices have been abolished in many countries, yet still too many individuals and communities suffer from the injustice and stigma that racism brings. Watch and share to join together in taking action against racial discrimination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDKOzFyes5Q

🙅Racism and related discrimination and intolerance exist in all societies, everywhere. Racism harms not just the lives of those who endure it, but also society as a whole. We all lose in a society characterised by discrimination, division, distrust, intolerance, and hate. The fight against racism is everyone’s fight. We all have a part to play in building a world beyond racism.

✝️The Catholic Church presents a consistent moral judgement on racism and discrimination throughout its teachings and documents that is grounded in fundamental scriptural beliefs: the equal dignity of all people, created in God’s image and likeness.

🇻🇦"Every form of social or cultural discrimination in fundamental personal rights on the grounds of sex, race, colour, social conditions, language, or religion must be curbed and eradicated as incompatible with God's design." - Gaudium et Spes, 1965.


We all can do something against racism. You too. Join UNESCO and leading personalities from all over the world in denouncing mounting racial discrimination.T...
