International Day Commemoratin the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief

International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief, sponsored by the United Nations, is dedicated to raising awareness of and offering support to victims of violence perpetrated due to their religion or beliefs. This day, following the previous day of remembrance for victims of terrorism, underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing violence driven by religious intolerance or discrimination. Around the world, rallies and services are held to honor the victims and advocate for greater respect, tolerance, and protection of religious freedom and belief systems.
