''A Call for Social Justice in the Digital Economy''; is the theme chosen to celebrate World Day of Social Justice; 20 February.
Forum:This year's commemoration supports efforts by the international community to search for solutions to achieve sustainable development, poverty eradication, the promotion of full employment and decent work, universal social protection, gender equality and access to social well-being and justice for all. Consequently, it aims at fostering dialogue with United Nations member States and relevant UN institutions and other stakeholders on actions needed to overcome the digital divide, provide decent work opportunities,, and protect labour and human rights in the modern era of digital technologies.
Leaving no one behind means leaving no one offline.
A new UN DESA policy brief calls for a common framework to close the digital divide. Closing the digital divide will be vital to recover better from the COVID19.
