Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future
United Nations – From addressing economic inequality to access to education, healthcare, and the protection of human rights, World Day of Social Justice aims to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
The five key principles of social justice are often defined as:
the recognition that different people have different needs and circumstances (equity),
ensuring that everyone has access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed (access),
enabling all individuals to play in role in the political, economic and social life of the communities (participation),
protecting the human rights of all individuals (rights) and
valuing and respecting differences between people, such as race, gender, and sexual orientation (diversity).
