Today is the D Day of our February theme which is #SocialJustice 

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

World Day of Social Justice is

20th February set aside by the United Nations.

Their focus theme for the celebration is Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future.

Strengthening a just transition for a sustainable future means making sure our move toward low-carbon economies benefits everyone, especially the most vulnerable. It requires a holistic approach that weaves environmental sustainability (TLF's March theme) with social justice (TLF's February theme), ensuring that workers (TLF's June theme), indigenous peoples, and marginalized communities receive the support they need (TLF's December theme) —through retraining, job creation, and strong social protection measures. 

Decarbonization and economic transformation should support policies that fight poverty, reduce inequality, and open up opportunities for all and in the end profer solutions to charity and social development which is the aim and objectives of TLF.

At the heart of this is synchronizing “just transition” principles into both global and national policies. These would redirect investments into emerging green sectors, building a resilient workforce and a more equitable society.

Through collective action and inclusive policies, we can create a future where environmental integrity and social equity go hand in hand, forming the foundation of a truly sustainable global economy.

The General Assembly of the UN recognizes that social development and social justice are indispensable for the achievement and maintenance of peace and security within and among nations and that, in turn, social development and social justice cannot be attained in the absence of peace and security, or in the absence of respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms.

It was on the 26th of November 2007, that the General Assembly declared that, starting from the 63rd session of the General Assembly, 20th February will be celebrated annually as the World Day of Social Justice.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
