Uniting global voices for social justice: The World of Work Summit – Social Justice for All.

The two-day ‘World of Work Summit: Social Justice for All’ aims to:


• Raise awareness and plea for social justice to be prioritized in global, regional, and national agendas, as a rally point to put the social dimension of the Sustainable Development Goals back on track;

• Promote and call for increased, coordinated and coherent action for the advancement of social justice, through the forging of the Global Coalition for Social Justice;

• Feed the global debate by voicing priorities and commitments to do more to advance social justice for all.

The Summit will feature addresses by Heads of State and Government, employer and worker organization representatives, as well as panel discussions, including with high-level representatives of the UN agencies and other international organizations. The Summit will be an essential contribution to the shaping of the Global Coalition for Social Justice. The aspirations for social justice that led to the establishment of the ILO are just as important today: if we want to achieve shared prosperity, inclusive growth and universal and lasting peace, we first have to achieve social justice. For this to become a reality, we need renewed commitments from all parties. The ‘World of Work Summit: Social Justice for All’, it is hoped, will provide the impetus, and the Global Coalition for Social Justice the framework to achieve this goal, together.
