International Day to Combat Islamophobia is an international observance designated by United Nations in 2022,[1][2] taking place on 15 March every year worldwide to counter Islamophobia. The date was chosen as the anniversary of the mass shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, in which 51 people were killed during Friday prayer in 2019.
