The International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade is observed every year on March 25. This day honours the millions of men, women, and children who suffered under the transatlantic slave trade. The observance aims to educate future generations about the history of slavery, its lasting effects, and to promote racial justice and equality. The choice of March 25 commemorates the date in 1807 when the United Kingdom passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, which made the slave trade illegal in British territories.
