Social justice
Social justice is an economic and social system that aims to eliminate the large economic differences between classes of society. Sometimes called civil justice, it describes the idea of a society in which justice prevails in all its aspects, rather than being restricted to just the law.
In general, social justice is understood as providing a fair treatment and a participatory share of society’s goods.
Social justice is a fertile subject for debate in politics, religion, and the determinants of civilized society.
From the left's perspective, social justice is economic utilitarianism, redistribution of national income, equal opportunity, and other sectors of civil society. As for the right, it is contradictory and ambiguous, as it contains a specific structure for what is socially just.
With the continuing financial crises, poverty, inequality within societies, and obstacles hindering the integration of developing countries, it was recognized that the international community should increase its efforts in eradicating poverty, promoting full employment, decent work, gender equality, social welfare, and social justice for all, and it was therefore decided to celebrate the World Day annually For social justice on February 20 of every year, and the United Nations

The Hardo Center for Digital Expression highlights the International Day of Social Justice through a research paper that introduces the International Day of Social Justice, and defines the concept of social justice as a socio-economic system, aimed at overcoming and eliminating economic
differences between the layers of one society, working to provide a fair treatment and provide a participatory share A wealth of society for everyone. Social justice is represented in economic expediency, work to redistribute national income, and equality of opportunities. Social justice is a basic principle of peaceful coexistence within
Nations and among them, which is achieved under prosperity. Hence, when we work to achieve gender equality or promote the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants, this is an upholding of our principles of social justice. And when we remove the barriers that people face because of their gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, or disability, we have come a long way in promoting social justice.
The official website of the United Nations published a celebration of the "International Day for Social Justice" that: "Social justice is a basic principle of peaceful coexistence within and between nations, in which prosperity is achieved, and then when we work to achieve gender equality or promote the rights of peoples Indigenous and immigrant people, this would be an elevation of the principles of social justice, and when we remove the barriers that people face because of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or disability, we have come a long way in promoting social justice.
