Ethnic Equality Month takes place during the month of February. Racial and ethnic equality, gender equity, and social inclusion are critical to democratic stability. Racial and ethnic equality requires participation by all stakeholders. This includes central and local governments, law enforcement, multilateral organizations, civil society, businesses, and academia.

Ethnic Equality Month takes place in many countries. It is a good time to discuss what each one of us can do to contribute to social equality and justice.

Ethnic Equality Month is also an important time to recognize the similarities all people have, yet acknowledge, appreciate and respect the differences in all of us.
