Zero Discrimination Day

😊

Manu thanks for the information. Discrimination on the basis of caste ,creed ,gender or region is highly insensitive and an encroachment on the fundamental rights. It goes against the basic tenets of humanity. Human beings are creation of nature and their basic traits remain the same. However because of their birth in a particular caste region and so on we start discriminating against one another. The sense of discrimination is exploitative in nature and emanates basically from a sense of insecurity or misplaced notion of superiority.

Always love to read your topics. Thank you for msg 🤗

Great post Manu! 👍🏼

On the eve of Zero Discrimination Day, UNAIDS calls for the protection for the health and human rights of vulnerable populations

For all who seek a more just world, for all who strive for peace and prosperity"we must demand an end to inequality, discrimination and violence against people living with HIV, LGBT people, sex workers, people who use drugs and other vulnerable populations.

UNAIDS has consistently highlighted that discrimination is a violation of human rights and a major barrier to an effective AIDS response. Yet many people living with HIV or vulnerable to it continue to face unfair treatment or unjustified criminalization

Many other vulnerable groups also face punitive laws and illegal law enforcement"including sex workers and people who use drugs, whose daily lives are filled with discrimination, violence and abuse.

In several countries in the world, people who use drugs, or are suspected of drug use, are detained without due process in detention centres where they are denied health care and face substandard conditions.

People living with HIV continue to face high levels of stigma and discrimination, being denied health care, education, employment, housing and freedom of movement based on their HIV status. Such discrimination and punitive approaches pose huge setbacks to both health and development.

Discrimination has many forms, often disproportionately affecting women. Statistics show that globally, one in three women will face gender-based violence. In only four out of ten countries worldwide do equal numbers of girls and boys attend secondary school, and women are 10% less likely to be literate than men.

On Zero Discrimination Day, I ask you to speak up if someone is discriminated against or threatened--to raise awareness and to celebrate diversity. Everyone, everywhere, has a right to their dignity, security, health and dreams!

Thank you for this important and informative Thread, Manu 👍🏼❤️👏
Thank you as well for a PM that you always send me that enable me to find your Threads and always learn something new from them. 🤗

Happy Zero Discrimination Day !!!! 🥳

Every person on this Earth, that we are sharing, deserves equal opportunities and rights, as well as equal chances to live a life with dignity, regardless to his/her choices.

Discrimination of any kind is wrong, and we should all try to transform our own community, by practicing what we believe in. If everybody do that in their own piece of this Earth, this World would for sure be a better place to live in. 😊
Manu, for being such a caring person.

Here are some Quotes :

Thank you Manu for the great post, we learn so much from you.

Thanks Manu for this very informative post, did not know about it! A great concept and a great idea which if emulated would bring amazing results!

Manu excellent post and it should start with the kids with special needs like autistic children, deaf and dumb, blind. Instead of pushing them to special schools forever they need to be integrated with the normal kids and normal schools after some time.
