International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave TradeInternational Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade commemorates the memory of the estimated 15 million men, women and children who suffered and died during the devastating transatlantic slave trade. The Observance presents an opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers of racism and prejudice today. It focuses on honouring and remembering those who suffered and perished at the hands of the brutal slavery system. The United Nations General Assembly declared this commemorative day in 2007. It aims to remind people of the negative impact that slavery had on the world. For Australians, this Observance challenges us to recognise and reflect on the often overlooked history of slavery within our own country, such as the use of Pacific Islander labour in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The day encourages a deep understanding of the roots of systemic discrimination and fosters a commitment towards achieving racial equality and justice. In Australia, the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade is marked through a variety of events aimed at promoting knowledge and understanding. These include exhibitions, films, debates, workshops and cultural performances. Schools, universities, and community organisations strive to educate about the historical atrocities of slavery and its ongoing impact. The Observance is recognised annually on March 25, serving as a powerful reminder to all Australians of the need for ongoing commitment to combating racism and discrimination.
