About World Interfaith Harmony Week
World Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event observed during the first week of February, emerging from the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution that seeks a worldwide celebration of interfaith harmony. This week encourages individuals and communities to come together, share their beliefs, and work towards common goals of peace, tolerance, and mutual respect. It's a time for religious and non-religious organizations, as well as individuals, to engage in activities that foster harmony and understanding among diverse faith communities.
