#SocialSummit2025 has sent a powerful signal - that progress in the economy and in society must go hand in hand. The joint commitment to fairness, decent work and dialogue gives multilateralism a human face and puts #SocialJustice where it belongs, at the heart of global policy.

Social and labour protection rebuilds lives. Langanani moved from the street to a contracted job managing a buy-back centre—income, benefits and a team he leads. Security brings dignity back. #ThisIsSocialJustice @ilo
