Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten stated that millions of people experience discrimination and racism in their daily lives, calling for international cooperation to promote equal rights.

Jetten noted that those fighting discrimination and racism face a challenging environment and that institutions established to protect everyone are under considerable pressure. He said, "Millions of people face discrimination and racism in their daily lives. It is a challenging environment for everyone who stands up for equal rights, and the institutions established to protect us all are under enormous pressure."

Highlighting that the struggle for equal rights has not followed a linear path throughout history, Jetten said, "Looking at history, we can see that the struggle for equal rights and progress has never followed a straight upward line."

Jetten said that the gathering of representatives from different fields at the UNESCO-organized forum was a source of hope, continuing his appeal with the words, "By coming together and sharing our ideas, we can take steps together toward a more equal world for everyone."
