High-Level Moment to Honour Victims of Slavery…

Event Objectives:

• Mobilize International Communities: The proposed event offers a critical and timely opportunity for high-level political engagement, coinciding with a moment when world leaders come together to commit to a Pact for the Future and a Declaration for Future Generations. It will place the fight against racism and discrimination, and the commitment to equality at the center of the global political agenda, as governments, academic institutions, youth, and the media actively engage to address the ongoing consequences of the legacy of slavery, both now and for future generations.
• Shed light on and gather support for further efforts breaking the silence surrounding the history of enslavement through research, knowledge production, skills enhancement, and advocacy. This powerful commitment moment will celebrate such achievements and ensure that the horrors and legacies of the slave trade continue to be recognized and understood.
