An Inclusive Commonwealth This year’s theme celebrates the diversity of the Commonwealth, which is made up of more than two billion people. Every one of them is different, and each of them has something unique to offer. The Commonwealth Charter asserts that everyone is equal and deserves to be treated fairly, whether they are rich or poor, without regard to their race, age, gender, belief or other identity. The Commonwealth builds a better world by including and respecting everybody and the richness of their personalities. Commonwealth Day is 14 March 2016 thecommonwealth.org/inclusivecommonwealth #inclusivecommonwealth 1 4 27 50 52 32 7 3 23 9 26 11 30 43 8 39 2 6 53 15 29 45 47 18 36 28 24 10 41 24 14 37 35 40 25 20 The Commonwealth is made up of 12 49 38 48 53 countries around the world 5 22 42 19 31 16 46 13 The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 51 34 independent countries spread over every continent 33 and ocean.
