20 February 2010 - 20 February 2011
In 2010 the search for a "society for all" faces severe challenges brought on by the global economic and jobs crises, resurging poverty and long-term social uncertainty. Against this backdrop, the ILO has launched a year-long Voices on Social Justice Campaign to provide a global platform for testimonies on what social justice means today. Listen to the voices of commentators, academics, activists and leaders throughout the year.
