World Day of Social Justice Observed by Marwah Studios

“Social justice is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and among nations. We uphold the principles of social justice when we promote gender equality or the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants. We advance social justice when we remove barriers that people face because of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or disability” said Sandeep Marwah President of WPDRF-World Peace Development And Research Foundation & Ambassador IHRO announcing 20th February as World Day of Social Justice. For the United Nations, the pursuit of social justice for all is at the core of our global mission to promote development and human dignity. The Declaration focuses on guaranteeing fair outcomes for all through employment, social protection, social dialogue, and fundamental principles and rights at work. “The gap between the poorest the wealthiest around the World is wide and growing. We must do more to empower individuals through decent work, support people through social protection and ensure the voice of the poor and marginalized are heard” said Ban Ki Moon Secretary General of United Nation.
