The World Day of Social Justice is observed annually on February 20th. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007 as a way to promote efforts towards eradicating poverty, promoting full employment and decent work, gender equality, and access to social well-being and justice for all. 

The day serves as a reminder of the importance of social justice in achieving peace and development worldwide. Various events, discussions, and activities are organized around the world to raise awareness about social justice issues and to encourage action towards creating a more equitable society.
