February 20 is celebrated as ______.
World Day of Social Justice
February 20 is observed internationally to draw attention to the pursuit of social justice, focusing on issues such as poverty, gender inequality, unemployment, discrimination and access to social protection. It was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007 and has been observed annually from 2009 onward.
The day is called the World Day of Social Justice, and each year the United Nations picks a theme highlighting one dimension of social justice, such as decent work, closing inequalities or fair globalisation. It is not a national commemoration but a UN-designated international observance.
Central Excise Day in India falls on February 24, World Heritage Day is observed on April 18 and World Water Day is on March 22, so none of these matches February 20.
Hence, World Day of Social Justice.
