Dear Listers,

Join us today, February 20, 2025, to celebrate World Day of Social Justice, a day dedicated to promoting fairness, equality, and human rights. This year’s theme, “Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future,” emphasises the need for inclusive policies that address systemic inequalities while fostering sustainable development in the face of global challenges like climate change and economic transitions

Social justice isn't just about addressing poverty, unemployment, and inequality but also about ensuring human rights are protected in an increasingly digital world. Technology has transformed how we communicate, work, and advocate for justice. However, it has also introduced new challenges for actors working to advance human rights.

The Tatua Digital Resilience Centre is committed to empowering SJOs in East Africa by equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate these challenges effectively. As we reflect on the significance of the World Day of Social Justice, let’s acknowledge the digital security challenges that social justice organizations, activists, human rights defenders, and journalists face, and take action to support their vital work. 

Use the hashtags #SocialJusticeDay and #digitalsecurityforSJOs to share your thoughts and celebrate with local SJOs today.  

If you are a social justice organization, activist, human rights defender, or journalist, visit our website for information on how Tatua can support your digital resilience or reach out through our contacts linked here for cyber emergency services.  

Remember, together, we can build a future where technology empowers rather than hinders the pursuit of justice.
