NGA: The World Day of Social Justice observed annually on February 20th, serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting social justice for all. It is an opportunity to raise awareness, foster dialogue, and take collective action to address the root causes of social injustices.
On the occasion of the World Day of Social Justice, the International Human Rights Commission-IHRC emphasizes the importance of bridging gaps and building alliances to promote social justice in Nigeria, Africa, and beyond.

The Commission’s Ambassador-at-Large and Head of Diplomatic Mission in Nigeria, H.E. Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah in a statement made available by his media team, said the day serves as a reminder of the need to address social inequalities, discrimination, and human rights violations, and to work towards creating a more equitable and inclusive society for all individuals.

IHRC recognizes that no single entity can tackle these challenges alone, therefore, it emphasizes the need for collaboration and building alliances among individuals, organizations, and governments.

“It is imperative that we work together to address the systemic injustices that plague our communities and perpetuate inequality. We must strive to create a society where every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness, regardless of their background or circumstances”, he noted.

By standing in solidarity with one another and advocating for the rights of the marginalized and oppressed, we can bring about lasting transformation and create a more just and inclusive society for future generations, “ Because what we do today we do for generations”, he added.

He urged government at all levels, organizations, and institutions to bridge the gaps and build alliances that will empower the people to create a better world for all.

He maintained that the IHRC is ready to collaborate with governments, organizations, and individuals to promote social justice and ensure that every person’s rights are protected and respected.
