The International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief is an observance that raises awareness about religious intolerance and seeks to promote peace, respect, and understanding among various religious and belief-based communities. This day emphasizes the importance of upholding the principle of freedom of religion or belief and honors the memories of individuals who have suffered due to acts of violence motivated by religious intolerance. The United Nations General Assembly recognized the need for such an observance as numerous incidents around the world have shown the devastating consequences of violence based on religious grounds. The International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief was established by a UN General Assembly Resolution on May 28, 2019. In Australia, the promotion of religious tolerance and respect for diverse beliefs is a fundamental aspect of fostering social harmony. Various initiatives, such as the National Anti-Racism Strategy and the Australian Human Rights Commission's "Religion or Belief Project," have been undertaken to address these issues nationally. The observance of this day highlights the commitment of Australians to advocate for peace and respect, irrespective of one's faith or belief. Each year, Australians join the global community in observing the International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief on August 22. Activities and events across Australia, such as interfaith dialogues, seminars, and outreach campaigns, help raise awareness and foster understanding among the diverse religious communities. These observances aim to dispel prejudices, promote education and dialogue, and contribute to the development of a more inclusive and harmonious society for both religious and non-religious Australians.
