The United Nations’ World Day of Social Justice is annually observed on 20 February to encourage people to look at how social justice affects poverty eradication. It promotes full employment and decent work, gender equity and justice for all. This year the focus is on employment justice.
Celebrate World Day of Social Justice by:
- Learning more about the issues. Start here at Just Focus, or check out www.un.org
- Listening to a panel discussion organised by International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Carnegie Council www.cceia.org/calendar/data/0177.html
- Encouraging your school, university or workplace to organise a presentation, shared lunch or film screening (there are lots of DVDs in the Global Focus Aotearoa library which you can borrow) around a theme related to poverty, social and economic exclusion or unemployment
