O comércio transatlântico de escravos representa um capítulo sombrio e doloroso da história da humanidade, que afetou mais de 15 milhões de pessoas ao longo de mais de 400 anos. Apesar da abolição da escravatura, as ideologias racistas persistem e continuam atualmente a moldar atitudes e comportamentos discriminatórios. Iniciativas como o Dia Internacional em Memória das Vítimas da Escravatura e do Comércio Transatlântico de Escravos e a Semana Europeia do Combate ao Racismo e da Diversidade visam aumentar a sensibilização, promover a igualdade e criar uma sociedade mais inclusiva.

Relembrar as vítimas da escravatura e do comércio transatlântico de escravos
