On the fifth anniversary of the Christchurch mosque attacks in New Zealand, where 51 people were murdered during Friday prayers, global and local leaders have emphasized the importance of reflecting on the Islamophobia that fueled the tragedy. The United Nations has designated this anniversary as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, aiming to address and counter anti-Muslim hatred worldwide. Various commemorations, including multi-faith Iftars and statements of solidarity against extremism and hate crimes, underscore the ongoing commitment to unity and the rejection of Islamophobia. Leaders assert there is 'no place for hate' in society, calling for 'solidarity' against those who seek to divide.

It is the fifth anniversary of the Christchurch massacre. 51 people were murdered for going to practice their faith, at Friday prayers at two local mosques in New Zealand.
