The Australian Human Rights Commission has developed this fact sheet about the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD) to demonstrate how ‘harmony’ hides structural and systemic racism.
The Australian Human Rights Commission has developed this fact sheet about the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD) to demonstrate how ‘harmony’ hides structural and systemic racism.
The Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Council of Australia (FECCA) is encouraging people and organisations in Australia to observe and refer to the 21st of March as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
In 1998, the Howard Government declared the 21st of March as ‘Harmony Day’, making Australia the only country in the world that refers to this day differently from other nations.
