‘Equality and Justice in the work of Gibran Khalil Gibran’ constitutes the theme of Social Justice Day at ESCWA
The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) is marking the 11th World Day of Social Justice. This year’s theme is: “Celebrating Equality and Justice in the work of Gibran Khalil Gibran.”
The event focuses on the principal concepts of social justice in the work of Gibran Khalil Gibran who tackled not only beauty, life and death, but also poverty, justice, peace, freedom and the need to safeguard the rights of all people. ESCWA aims to highlight the concepts of social justice by paying tribute to the work of one of the most accomplished writers and philosophers, with a special focus on how he perceived justice and equality.
Observance of World Day of Social Justice comes in line with the efforts of the international community in eradicating poverty, promoting full employment and decent work, and ensuring gender equality and access to social wellbeing and justice for all.
