Slavery in various manifestations is a social injustice practiced during various stages of human history. International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and Its Abolition is intended to inscribe the tragedy of the slave trade in the memory of all peoples. This Day invites States to organize events to honour the victims of slavery, promote intercultural dialogue, and offer an opportunity for collective consideration of the historic causes, methods and consequences of this tragedy. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization proclaimed this Day in 1997.
