Sectarianism

Sectarianism is a hatred of some people because they belong to a different sect of a religion.

Sectarianism is caused by misinformation, fear and ignorance. It occurs when people dont have respest, trust or want to understand

each other.

Sectarianism is a serious problem in society. When people are treated unfairly and not given the same rights this is called

discrimination.

Sectananism leads to discrimination, and affects society as a whole. It has no place in a peaceful society, where people should be able

to live in harmony and be free from fear or Violence.
