International Day of Tolerance

Monday, 16 November 2020 is the date of International Day for Tolerance. Tolerance Day is a United Nations’ observance and is celebrated on 16 November every year since 1996. It is not a public holiday.

Tolerance is respect for other’s rights and freedom. Tolerance is not only a moral duty but also a requirement of the present era. States should legislate for equality and basic human rights for the promotion of tolerance and non-violence. Education is an important tool to pave the path for these desired results.

We should also play our role through print and social media for the respect and adoption of tolerance. Tolerance is an amazing tool that can help people of diverse religions and cultures to live together harmoniously and peacefully.
