Action day against racism: Bad Kreuznach sets a sign of diversity!

On March 21, 2025, a far -reaching day of action against racism took place in Bad Kreuznach, organized by the alliance "Kreuznach for Diversity". The protection of human dignity was the focus of this significant date, reminiscent of the Sharpeville massacre in 1960 when peaceful demonstrators were killed by the South African police.

The day of action started in the morning with a campaign stand on the grain market, where numerous visitors were informed about the topics of racism and their effects on society. In the afternoon, the event continued with a rally on the old Naherbrücke, which was near the world shop. For this purpose, representatives of organizations such as "Active for Refugees" and "Grandma's for Future" as well as the left -wing youth performed Solid in order to emphasize the importance of a diverse, decent and non -discriminatory coexistence.

racism in global context

The day of action in Bad Kreuznach reflects the global discourses on racism that are continuously up to date in 2025. UN Secretary General António Guterres described racism as a deeply rooted problem in his public statements. This dangerous way of thinking survives generations and contaminates companies, which leads to inequality, oppression and exclusion. The discrimination against people of African origin as well as the injustices that affect indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities are particularly critical

In his appeals, Guterres calls for a clear conviction of racism and emphasizes the role of youth in the fight against this non -acceptable attitude. The views and behaviors of young people are therefore crucial for future society, which is why he calls up educators and managers to teach the equality of all people.

The role of human rights organizations

In this context, the work of organizations such as Amnesty International, which still plays an important role in the fight against racism and discrimination. Despite considerable challenges, such as freezing accounts by the Indian authorities, the organization continues to work for human rights. With the “Courage needs protection” campaign from 2018 to 2021, Amnesty supports human rights defenders who are under unprecedented pressure.

Through civil society alliances such as #Antivable, which are supported by Amnesty, an attempt is made to create a Europe based on human rights and social justice. Such initiatives are the key to forming a peaceful and equal society that corresponds to the principles of the action day in Bad Kreuznach.

Today's event shows that racism is a persistent problem and that society has to work together to reduce prejudices and promote respectful coexistence. While the action day in Bad Kreuznach sets an important sign, there is still a lot to do in the fight against the dangerous structures of racism.
