UNITED NATIONS: The World Day of Social Justice is being observed across the globe today (Monday).
The day is observed to raise voice against social injustice and to bring together diverse communities around the world in an effort to eradicate poverty, physical discrimination, gender inequalities, religious discrimination and illiteracy, and create an integrated society.
Theme for 2023
The theme for this year is “overcoming Barriers and Unleashing Opportunities for Social Justice”, which focuses on the recommendations of United Nation‘s Common Agenda to strengthen global solidarity and to re-ignite trust in government by overcoming barriers and unleashing opportunities for social justice.
The day provides an opportunity to foster dialogue with Member States, youth, social partners, civil society, UN organisations and other stakeholders on actions required to strengthen the social contract that has been affected by rising inequalities, conflicts and weakened institutions that were meant to protect the rights of workers.
