International Day of Human Fraternity 2025

The International Day of Human Fraternity, observed on February 04, 2025, was proclaimed by the United Nations in 2020 and first celebrated in 2021. The day seeks to promote tolerance, acceptance, and mutual understanding among people of different religions, cultures, and worldviews. Its annual themes address pressing global issues, including religious hatred and the need for interfaith dialogue.

The observance is rooted in the 2019 Document on Human Fraternity, signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, which calls for peaceful coexistence and global unity. The International Day of Human Fraternity emphasizes the shared responsibility of individuals and nations to uphold human dignity and celebrate diversity.
