Stamping Out Discrimination: A Global Call for Unity and Equality!

Discrimination and inequality have been an age-old issue in societies across the world. Be it in the form of racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, or any other form, discrimination and inequality continue to haunt individuals, communities, and nations. The rampant global inequalities have led to unrest, mistrust, and conflict.

In a world that claims to be enlightened and progressive, the call for equality and unity has never been more critical. Across the globe, various individuals, organizations, and governments are making strides towards stamping out discrimination and paving the way towards a more equitable society.

The year 2020 brought to the forefront several incidents that ignited global outrage, from the racially-charged killing of George Floyd in the United States to the callous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw a stark increase in hate crimes against Asian individuals.

These incidents, along with many others, sparked a global movement towards combating discrimination. This movement has highlighted the need for a more united approach to tackle socio-economic inequalities and exclusion.

Governments across the world are stepping up their efforts towards this noble cause. India, for instance, has introduced several initiatives such as the «Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao» (Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter) campaign to tackle gender-based discrimination, while South Korea has introduced an anti-discrimination law aimed at protecting individuals from discriminations based on race, gender, and sexual orientation.

Similarly, various organizations—from the UN Women to the Global Alliance for LGBT+ Education—are working towards providing education, advocacy, and support for individuals facing discrimination.

In conclusion, the global call for unity and equality is a much-needed movement in an age where divisions and inequalities are rampant. The need of the hour is for all individuals, governments, organizations, and communities to come together, united in their fight against discrimination, to pave the way towards a more equitable and just society.
