The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has launched another phase of its ‘This is Social Justice’ campaign in furtherance of its sustained efforts to promote social justice and curb all forms of inequality in the world’s work place.
The ‘This is Social Justice’ campaign is the second phase in the ILO’s long-standing advocacy for social justice and decent work, ahead of the Second World Summit for Social Development in November this year.
According to a news flash on the campaign published by the labour organization, social justice is the foundation of peaceful societies that are equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient. Beyond being a moral imperative, social justice enables societies and economies to function more cohesively and effectively, building trust, enhancing legitimacy, and unlocking productive potential for sustained inclusive growth, peace, and stability.
The latest initiative of the ILO aligns with the Philadelphia Declaration of 1944 which noted that “All human beings, irrespective of race, creed or sex, have the right to pursue both their material well-being and their spiritual development in conditions of freedom and dignity, of economic security and equal opportunity.”

The ILO “This is Social Justice” campaign features a series of short videos that highlight the transformative power of social justice in the lives of women and men around the world.
Ahead of the 2nd World Summit for Social Development in Doha this November, the ILO’s flagship report “The State of Social Justice 2025” gives the most complete picture yet of progress in reducing poverty, child labour and inequality — and where advances have slowed.
In an episode of the Future of Work podcast, Director of the ILO’s Research and Publications Department, Caroline Fredrickson, highlights the report’s key findings, the challenges that remain, and why advancing social justice is essential for both fairness and stronger, more resilient economies.
