To promote equal rights and opportunities among people within a country and between nations, 20 February is observed annually as the World Day of Social Justice.
United Nations General Assembly had approved the day on 26 November, 2007 and every year since 2009 social justice day is observed.
This day is aimed at encouraging people to look at how social justice affects eradication of poverty, enhances employment and bring forth communal integration.
The theme of 2019 World Day of Social Justice is ‘If You Want Peace & Development, Work for Social Justice’.
