Is equality unreasonable?
On 20 February, the United Nations marks World Day of Social Justice. But what is social justice?
It is a call for people and governments to take concrete action to close the gap between rich and poor, and ensure that everyone has equal access to food and education and wages they can raise their families on. It means achieving full employment and decent work, gender equality and equal justice that is independent of race, religion or nationality.
This year, the theme of World Social Justice Day is “Social Protection and Decent Work for All.” To explore the ways we can look at social justice and help bring it about, we present 10 News Decoder stories on the concept of social inequity and equal employment.
