ZERO DISCRIMINATION DAY

ZERO DISCRIMINATION DAY
Every year on March 1st, Zero Discrimination Day celebrates the right of everyone to live their life with dignity, including living a full and productive life. The day also highlights inclusion, compassion, and becoming a movement for change to end all forms of discrimination.

When someone is treated differently based on their age, race, religion, social status, or gender it’s called discrimination. Sadly, people with sickness and disabilities are also discriminated against. Even in the advanced civilization in which we live, discrimination is still a huge issue. This is largely due to the fact that it is human nature to categorize people.

In most cases, discrimination is a learned behavior. Discrimination also occurs when there is a lack of understanding. Another reason people discriminate is that they are insecure about themselves. Discriminating against another human being allows them to feel more powerful. Pride is another primary reason that humans discriminate against one another.
