The International Day of Social Justice is being observed this Thursday, with a global focus on addressing pressing social justice challenges. The day is dedicated to raising awareness about issues such as poverty, unemployment, inequality, and social exclusion, and encouraging collective action to foster a more equitable world for all.
In his message on this occasion, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif underscored the government’s commitment to social justice through various initiatives, including the ‘Uraan Pakistan’ program. This program is designed to promote equality, ethics, and inclusivity, with a special focus on providing equal opportunities to marginalized and disadvantaged communities.
The Prime Minister highlighted the launch of a digital platform that serves as an integrated social welfare system, enabling persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups to quickly access tailored support services. This initiative aims to break down barriers and ensure that no one is left behind in accessing critical resources and assistance.
Shehbaz Sharif also pointed out that the government has introduced several policies and programs to protect the rights of citizens, working towards eliminating biases, prejudices, and systemic inequalities that continue to hinder progress in society. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to promote a more just and fair society for all Pakistanis.
The Prime Minister concluded by stressing that this day serves as a reminder to take concrete actions against key issues like poverty, gender inequality, and discrimination. He called for the creation of inclusive societies where everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, can access equal rights, opportunities, and a fair chance at a better life.
