    "content": "I do not know where she finds them. She, however, keeps giving us information about all the days that are to be celebrated internationally. I congratulate her. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a very important one. The World Day of Social Justice was established in the year 2007 by the United Nations (UN). It has been declared that 20th February should be celebrated annually as such. Some of the things that we should focus on will be like poverty, gender and physical discrimination, illiteracy and religious discrimination, amongst others. These are issues that also involve modern slavery, human trafficking and others. It has also become a moment to think together on how the international community can work together to eliminate social injustices. I would like to pick on the issue of poverty. The world can solve this problem if we all concerted our efforts. We had debate in this House on pricing of basic things. It needs to be considered very seriously because poverty comes out of problems that are sometimes of a natural nature. The other one is illiteracy. I come from a community that is basically still underdeveloped and discriminated in that sense. The schools are not very well developed and the people do not have an opportunity to go to school. Madam Temporary Speaker, if we take this day seriously, we should have either legislations or even Petitions and Statements coming out of this, so that we can begin to focus on how to get rid of social injustices. A good number of issues can come out of it. We appreciate that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has continued to play that role of being our conscience in this matter. I thank you very much."
