The United Nations' International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is on March 21 and recognizes that the injustices and prejudices fueled by racial discrimination take place every day.

The Government of Canada identifies this date as "an opportunity to reflect on the fact that while progress has been made, Indigenous Peoples, racialized communities and religious minorities in Canada continue to face racism and discrimination every day. It is also a day to re-commit our efforts to combat all forms of racial discrimination, injustice, systemic racism and hate to ensure a world where everyone is respected, safe, and has equitable access to contribute meaningfully to all aspects of society."
