All Human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
It is imperative to note that there is no race which is above the other.
Let’s make the message loud and clear. There is no place for Racism in any society. 🚫 [1]
As we continue on this Week’s Anti-racism campaign, it is important to be aware of the different forms of racism, that take place within our community. It is necessary to identify how racism is expressed through behaviors, institutions & cultures.
