Harmony Day

 Harmony Day is celebrated on March 21 in Australia. Harmony Day began in 1999, coinciding with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and each year, it is marked by people coming together and participating in local activities. 

Message of Harmony Day is 'everyone belongs', the day aims to engage people to participate in their community, respect culture and religious diversity and foster sense of belonging for everyone.

Orange is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Day. Traditionally, orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations. It also relates to the freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect. Australians can choose to wear something orange on 21 March to show their support for cultural diversity and an inclusive Australia.

Every person is entitled to human rights without discrimination. The rights to equality and non-discrimination are cornerstones of human rights law. Yet in many parts of the world, discriminatory practices are still widespread, including racial, ethnic, religious and nationality based profiling, and incitement to hatred. The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on 21 March. On that day, in 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid pass laws. 
On this day, 21st of March, people are fighting for culture diversity and anti-racial discrimination. The major connection between Harmony Day of Australia and The international Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is that they both aim at promoting cultural diversity, eliminating discrimination and inclusiveness.
