Social justice

Social justice is the foundation of peaceful societies that are equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient. Beyond being a moral imperative, social justice enables societies and economies to function more cohesively and effectively, building trust, enhancing legitimacy, and unlocking productive potential for sustained inclusive growth, peace, and stability.

All human beings, irrespective of race, creed or sex, have the right to pursue both their material well-being and their spiritual development in conditions of freedom and dignity, of economic security and equal opportunity.

Declaration of Philadelphia, 1944
