Social justice is defined as "... promoting a just society by challenging injustice and valuing diversity." It exists when "all people share a common humanity and therefore have a right to equitable treatment, support for their human rights, and a fair allocation of community resources."

For the United Nations, the pursuit of social justice for all is at the core of its global mission and the International Day is supposed to highlight the current issues involved in creating greater social justice.
