Since 2009, every February 20th, we have recognized the United Nations observance known as “World Day of Social Justice”. The purpose of the day is to focus on the plight of social injustice throughout the world and to press for improvements and solutions. Social justice is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and among nations. We uphold the principles of social justice when we promote gender equality, or the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants. We advance social justice when we remove barriers that people face because of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or disability.

🌍 Tracing CHOGM's Commitment to Progress 🌍 The journey towards equality for LGBTI+ individuals in the Commonwealth is a story of both progress and persistent challenges. While significant strides have been made in some regions - such as decriminalising same-sex relationships and enacting anti-discrimination laws - many Commonwealth nations continue to uphold colonial-era laws that criminalise LGBTI+ identities and behaviours. Over the years, CHOGM has been a platform for advancing crucial issues like human rights, gender equality, and youth empowerment. Our new report - launching this week - highlights how these commitments have translated into progress and setbacks across the Commonwealth. #CHOGM #HumanRights #GenderEquality #YouthEmpowerment #Commonwealth #GlobalProgress #LGBTI+

Would you like to know more about the competence of different #EqualityBodies to make recommendations in relation to legislation, policy, and policymaking systems? 🔎 Focus on Croatia: "There is a requirement on bodies to whom such recommendations have been made to notify the Equality Body (Pučka pravobraniteljica / Ombudswoman, Ombudsman for Persons with Disabilities and Ombudsperson for Gender Equality), within the time limit set by the Equality Body, of the measures undertaken as a result of the proposal or recommendation made. Where there is a failure by the body to notify the Equality Body, the Equality Body can seek action from the institution that has a supervisory function in relation to that body. Where the supervisory institution fails to act the Equality Body can notify the government." 📖 Find more case studies in our perspective ⬇️ 🔗https://lnkd.in/dXUyxFzj

As part of a mini series about gender equality at work, I talk here about working parents - the role of fathers (note, I’ve focussed on two parent/heterosexual relationships), as well as our parental leave system and unpaid invisible labour.
