On 20 February, the world comes together to mark World Day of Social Justice, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the need to create fairer, more equitable societies. Established by the UN General Assembly in 2007, this day highlights the importance of social development and justice as cornerstones for global peace and security.
The theme for 2025, "Empowering Inclusion: Bridging Gaps for Social Justice", focuses on the critical role of inclusive policies, continuous learning, and social protections in addressing systemic inequalities. At Printed by Us, these values resonate deeply with our mission to empower individuals and foster meaningful change through creativity and opportunity.
The Importance of Social Justice
Why Social Justice Matters
Social justice ensures that everyone, regardless of their background, has equal opportunities and access to resources. It involves tackling systemic inequalities, fostering inclusivity, and protecting fundamental human rights.
However, achieving true social justice requires action at every level—individual, community, and global. This is why the annual World Day of Social Justice serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to build fairer societies.
Bridging Gaps for Social Justice in 2025
This year’s theme, “Empowering Inclusion: Bridging Gaps for Social Justice”, emphasizes breaking down barriers that perpetuate inequality. It calls for inclusive policies, lifelong learning opportunities, and robust social protections to support marginalized communities and create a fairer world.
At Printed by Us, social justice is at the heart of what we do. Our social enterprise is dedicated to empowering individuals who face barriers such as homelessness, unemployment, or social exclusion. Through creativity, learning, and meaningful work, we aim to bridge the gaps that prevent people from reaching their full potential.
