Today is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination — we must look at Traveller discrimination

Rose Marie Maughan, human rights activist says Mincéir/Traveller mothers are still raising their children to face hate.

Today marks the 61st anniversary of the day police opened fire killing 69 people and injuring 180 others during a peaceful demonstration against apartheid in a township in Sharpeville, South Africa. 

Six years after that, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution to mark International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination every year.
