ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Feb, 2018 ) :Like other parts of the globe, World Zero Discrimination Day will be marked on March 1 in Pakistan the event that promotes diversity and recognizes that everyone counts.

Organizations like the United Nations (UN) would actively promote the day with various activities to celebrate everyone's right to live a full life with dignity regardless of age, gender, sexuality, nationality, ethnicity, skin color, height, weight, profession, education, and beliefs.

Many countries have laws against discrimination but it's still a problem in all layers of society in every country in the world.

Many countries have and still use discrimination as a way of governing.

The symbol for Zero Discrimination Day is the butterfly, widely used by people to share their stories and photos as a way to end discrimination and work towards positive transformation. Zero Discrimination Day is a global observance and not a public holiday so it's business as usual.

The UN first celebrated Zero Discrimination Day on March 1, 2014, after UNAIDS, a UN program on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), launched its Zero Discrimination Campaign on World AIDS Day in December 2013.
