Important Days

Zero Discrimination Day is annually observed on 1st March to promote inclusion, equality, peace and create awareness among people about their rights to live a peaceful life, address discrimination and its impact on individuals, communities and societies. The day was first celebrated on March 1, 2014 after UNAIDS, a joint United Nations program on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), launched its Zero Discrimination Campaign on 'World AIDS Day' in December 2013. The then-Executive Director of UNAIDS Michel Sidibé launched the day in 2014 with a major event in Beijing. The theme for Zero Discrimination Day 2024 is “To protect everyone's health, protect everyone's rights”.


      1st March 2024 marks the observance of the 10th anniversary of Zero Discrimination Day.
