The official ceremony will take place on 1st February, a national holiday in Mauritius.

This occasion not only acts as a reminder of the moral resistance and sacrifices made by countless individuals to overcome the slave trade and slavery, but also pays tribute to the unnamed men, women, and children who played a significant role in shaping our nations.
