Social justice is about creating a fair, diverse and inclusive society. Today, many people are still discriminated against because of their gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, or disability. While governments, NGOs and the private sector are making some progress in fighting bias, putting principles of diversity and inclusion into practice, or ensuring a fair system of justice, there is still more to be done.

The plenary session will provide a common understanding of these issues and their meaning, exposing gaps and discussing the case for why diversity, inclusion and social justice matter within society, and the role of lawyers in driving and supporting a positive change. Speakers will share information, initiatives and tools to ensure better access to justice and a more diverse and inclusive world.

As an international association cherishing these values, we invite all of you to join our plenary session to discuss principles and forms of equality shaped around diversity. Joined by esteemed speakers with extensive knowledge and expertise within the field, this session will remind us once again the importance of diversity, inclusion and social justice.
