Social justice is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and among nations. Principles of social justice are upheld when we promote gender equality or the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants.

Social justice is advanced when we remove barriers that people face because of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or disability.
