Today, February 20th, is WORLD SOCIAL JUSTICE DAY
Although we are still a long way from it worldwide, SOCIAL JUSTICE is an absolute prerequisite for a “healthy” society worth living in.
Here are a few facts for you:
World Day of Social Justice has been held annually on February 2009 since 20. Social justice is an ideal that almost all people aspire to. As long as issues such as hunger, poverty and the unfair distribution of social resources are not resolved, there will be no justice and no social peace.
WHAT IS SOCIAL JUSTICE?
Social justice describes that there should be good work, adequate living conditions, equal education and training opportunities and a performance-based distribution of income and assets for everyone.
There are four dimensions of social justice: Equality of opportunity, performance, needs and generations.
WHAT DOES SOCIAL INJUSTICE BE BASED ON?
In general, there is talk of unfair distribution of wealth and unfair developments within societies as well as of "the gap between rich and poor". However, reality shows that this topic is more complex than one might expect at first glance.
Social inequality describes the fact that a group of people within a society have fewer specific resources and opportunities for realization than others. These resources can be monetary, such as income and wealth, or intangible, such as education, rights, influence, or prestige.
Most economists blame three independent developments for the increase in social inequality: technological progress, the politics of deregulation and the growing competition between developing industrial nations. .
THE 10 STEPS TO SOCIAL JUSTICE, described in the 2014 Oxfam Action Plan, are more relevant today than ever.
These are as follows:
1. Shaping politics in the interests of the population
2. Create equal opportunities for women
3. Adjust income
4. Spread the tax burden fairly
5. Close international tax loopholes
6. Achieve education for all
7. Enforcing the right to health
8. Abolish monopolies on the manufacture and pricing of medicines
9. Create social networks, like basic social security
10. Realign development finance
