Important Days

International Day to Combat Islamophobia is annually observed across the globe on 15 March. This global observance aims to address the pervasive fear, prejudice, and hostility faced by Muslims worldwide. The resolution was introduced by Pakistan on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The resolution, adopted by consensus by the 193-member world body and co-sponsored by 55 mainly Muslim countries, emphasizes the right to freedom of religion and belief. Muslims in India endure systemic discrimination in education, employment, and political representation, exacerbating social disparities.


      In the year 2022, the United Nations declared March 15 as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.

      The first International Day to Combat Islamophobia was observed in the year 2023.
