On #SocialJusticeDay, @festusomalia stands resolute in the fight for decent work, workers’ rights and social peace in Somalia. For our country to truly move forward, social justice must be guaranteed through: 🟢 Fair and living wages ✅ Safe and dignified workplaces 🟢 Full freedom of association ✅ An end to exploitation and abuse 🟢 Equal rights for women and youth ✅ Universal social protection Without social justice, there is no real development in Somalia.

On #SocialJusticeDay, @KhumbulaILO, Director of @ILO CO Addis Ababa, shares his message. Advancing social justice means: 🛠️ Decent jobs 💰 Fair incomes 🛡️ Protection for the vulnerable ⚖️ Rights respected This is how we expand opportunity and build resilient societies.

Delivering #SocialJustice is not an aspiration, it is a responsibility. That's why the Global Coalition for Social Justice was established, and the Second World Summit for Social Development Declaration calls for development and growth to fully integrate the social dimension.

#Climatejustice is the heartbeat of social justice.❤️ ‍ This #WorldDayOfSocialJustice, @FES_ETH is advocating for #JustTransition—ensuring that climate action & economic transformation are socially just & inclusive for all. Let’s build a green future that works for everyone.✊

There is no social justice without decent work for all. 🛠️ Safe jobs 💰 Fair pay 🛡️ Social protection ⚖️ Rights respected That’s how we build resilient economies and peaceful societies. #SocialJusticeDay #DecentWork #Equality
