World Day of Social Justice - Scales

Puzzle cube mural made on World Day of Social Justice

World Day of Social Justice is observed on February 20th every year to promote fairness, equality, and human rights across the globe. Established by the United Nations, this day highlights issues like poverty, unemployment, gender inequality, and social exclusion, urging governments and individuals to work toward a more just and inclusive society. The theme each year focuses on bridging social and economic divides, ensuring that everyone, regardless of background, has equal opportunities.

An inspiring fact about social justice is that even a small act of kindness or advocacy can create a ripple effect of change. Many global movements, including civil rights, women’s rights, and labor rights, started with just a few determined individuals. This day reminds us that justice is not just a goal but a continuous effort, and every person has the power to make a difference.
