International Day To Combat Islamophobia is an international observance designated by United Nations in 2022,[1][2] taking place on 15 March every year in 140 countries worldwide. The purpose of observing this day is to show the true face of Islam to those who hate Islam.[3] The date, March 15, was chosen as it is the anniversary of the Christchurch Mosque shootings, in which 51 people were killed.
