SUMMARY:International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition
DESCRIPTION:The slave trade is a part of our history that must be condemned and never forgotten. \nOn the night of 22 to 23 August 1791\, in Saint Domingue\, today the Republic of Haiti\, saw the beginning of the uprising that would play a crucial role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. \nIt is against this background that the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is commemorated on 23 August each year. It was first celebrated in a number of countries\, in particular in Haiti (23 August 1998) and Gorée Island in Senegal (23 August 1999). \nFrom 1562 when slavery began to 1865 when the transatlantic slave trade was abolished\, between 10 and 28 million African men\, women and children were enslaved\, persecuted and their human rights denied. By the end of slavery millions had lost their lives. \n  \n
