Zero Discrimination Day—We Stand Together, 1 March 2025
Zero Discrimination Day serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice around the world. On this day, we honour every individual’s right to live with dignity, fulfilment, and purpose.
The effects of discrimination are widespread and far-reaching, impacting areas such as education, employment, healthcare, and the justice system. These barriers not only isolate and marginalize individuals but also prevent them from realizing their fullest potential.
To address these systemic issues, we must engage in critical conversations and foster collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and educators. Discriminatory laws must be replaced with policies that promote fairness, safety, and inclusion for all. We must unite to challenge harmful stereotypes and dismantle the systems that perpetuate inequality.
In celebration of this day, we invite you to explore a selection of insightful articles, journals, and Special Issues in the fields of social sciences and humanities. These resources aim to deepen our understanding of the harmful effects of discrimination and outline the necessary steps to create lasting, positive change. Together, we can shape a more compassionate, just, and inclusive society.
