February 20

Established by the United Nations in 2007, the World Day of Social Justice highlights the importance of social development and fair treatment for all people. Each year focuses on a specific theme, such as labor rights, gender equality, or environmental justice. Governments, civil society groups, and communities organize events to raise awareness, discuss policy solutions, and mobilize action. Activities include panel discussions, workshops, public campaigns, and educational programs. The day emphasizes the interconnectedness of economic growth, social protection, and human rights. It encourages collaborative efforts to build inclusive societies and reduce disparities on a global scale.
