Every year, 20 February is celebrated as World Social Justice Day. On November 26, 2007, the UN General Assembly decided to celebrate the day from 2009 in a resolution. The main objective of this day is to create awareness for the establishment of social justice at regional, national and international levels. The day is especially emphasized on poverty alleviation, solving unemployment, eradicating various kinds of inequalities in the society and removing gender inequality. In 1995, various awareness programs were conducted to achieve the goals set at the World Conference on Social Welfare held in Copenhagen, Denmark, the capital of Denmark. The day also promotes that ‘a society for all’ can be possible only by establishing justice at all levels of society and respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms.
