International Day to Combat Islamophobia 2025

The International Day to Combat Islamophobia is observed on March 15, 2025. The United Nations proclaimed the day which was first celebrated in 2023 in response to the growing global phenomenon of anti-Muslim sentiment, with its origins linked to the tragic 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks in New Zealand. The day is observed annually.

The International Day to Combat Islamophobia promotes understanding and respect among cultures and religions, encouraging communities to address stereotypes and misconceptions about Islam. It serves as a reminder of the need for solidarity and inclusion to combat all forms of religious intolerance and hate crimes.
