March 15th is International Day to Combat Islamophobia, a day recognized by the United Nations to raise awareness about prejudice against Muslims around the world. It reminds us of the importance to promote freedom of religion for everyone. https://www.un.org/en/observances/anti-islamophobia-day

In 1948, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) established Article 18:“Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others, and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.” https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights

Today and every day, support a world where all faiths feel respected! 🌍💚

For over 100 years, International Women’s Day has celebrated the achievements of women globally – social, economic, cultural, and political. In a world still pushing forward on gender equality, it is incredibly important to continue to celebrate women – their strength, their resilience, and their inherent dignity. This year's theme is Give to Gain; consider celebrating the women-focused charity of your choice with a gift in honor of the occasion! https://www.un.org/en/observances/womens-day

Today, we recognize Zero Discrimination Day as a global movement celebrating every person’s right to live a full and fruitful life, free of discrimination in all its forms. In 2014 UNAIDS established March 1st as day to recognize individuals that are prevented from reaching their full potential due to ongoing stigma of HIV. If you know someone that has been affected by this, here is a link for more information on zero discrimination day. https://www.unaids.org/en/2026-zero-discrimination-day
