World Day of Social Justice 2024
The General Assembly proclaimed 20 February as World Day of Social Justice in 2007, inviting Member States to devote the day to promoting national activities by the objectives and goals of the World Summit for Social Development and the twenty-fourth session of the General Assembly.
Svitac (Firefly in Bosnia) has also marked this day with interactive workshops. With our participants, we spoke about the term justice/injustice and shared stories about different societies and cultures. Especially with the youngest ones we spoke about fairness and friendship. We also made with them a poster with symbolic messages.
The older participants spoke about trolling on social media/internet based on race nationality or economic status. With this discussion, we wanted to encourage young people to talk about this topic and to stand up against injustice in every segment of life.
