21.08 - International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism

On 21 August, we remember the people who have lost their lives to terrorist violence and those who have survived such attacks. The International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2017 to honour victims and survivors of terrorism and to make their experiences visible.

Terrorist violence affects not only those directly targeted. It can have a lasting impact on families and communities, while also reinforcing fear, exclusion and insecurity. At the same time, people may experience discrimination, prejudice and violence because of their perceived religion, origin, identity or other characteristics in the aftermath of terrorist attacks.

As ADE, we stand with those affected. We are committed to ensuring that people are heard, that their experiences are taken seriously and that they have access to support and counselling.

21 August is therefore not only a day of remembrance, but also an opportunity to show solidarity and to take a clear stand against terrorism, hatred, discrimination and all forms of violence!!

01.07 - Remembrance Day Anti-muslim racism

On this Day of Remembrance against Anti-Muslim Racism, we honor all those who have experienced exclusion, discrimination, intimidation or violence because of their actual or perceived Muslim faith. At the same time, we draw attention to the ongoing reality of anti-Muslim racism, which affects many people in their everyday lives: in schools, workplaces, public spaces and in interactions with public institutions.

Anti-Muslim racism takes many forms, ranging from prejudice and harmful stereotypes to structural discrimination, hate crimes and deadly acts of violence. Its impact extends far beyond individual incidents, affecting people's sense of safety, equal participation in society and trust in public institutions.

As ADE we stand in solidarity with those affected. We are committed to making discrimination visible, documenting it and working toward effective measures to prevent and combat it. Everyone who experiences anti-Muslim racism or any other form of discrimination or violence deserves protection, support and solidarity.
