Remembering the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade
The International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade is observed each year on March 25th. This solemn occasion honors the millions who suffered and lost their lives during the transatlantic slave trade—one of the darkest chapters in human history. It is a global moment to commemorate these victims and to reflect on the far-reaching consequences that this trade had on individuals, communities, and societies worldwide.
This year’s theme, “Remember Slavery: Confronting Racism and Public Memory”, underscores the importance of facing the painful past and educating future generations. By doing so, we promote diversity, tolerance, and respect for the dignity of all people.
