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.
