World Day of Social Justice, observed on February 20th each year, emphasizes the importance of promoting social justice to create a fair and equitable society. This day is dedicated to addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, discrimination, and the lack of access to essential services. It also highlights the need for actions that protect human rights and ensure the dignity of all individuals, regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.

As a non-profit women's shelter, Waypoints is deeply committed to the principles of social justice. The work we do is centered around providing safety and support for women and children who have experienced violence, trafficking, and other forms of exploitation. We believe that every individual has the right to access shelter, resources, and opportunities to rebuild their lives, regain their independence, and live free from harm.

World Day of Social Justice serves as a powerful reminder that fostering inclusive, equitable communities requires ongoing dedication. It is an opportunity to reflect on the progress made toward advancing social justice for women and children while recommitting to efforts that support vulnerable and marginalized groups. By advocating for equality, fairness, and the protection of human rights, we work toward a society where every individual can live with dignity and respect.
