nternationally-acclaimed recording Colombian artist and humanitarian Shakira was honoured by the International Labour Organization (ILO) for her work promoting the advancement of children and youth around the world.<br /><br />Each year, World Day for Social Justice draws global attention to efforts to eradicate poverty and promote social well-being, equality and full and decent employment. In 2010 this search for a "society for all" faces severe challenges brought on by the global economic and jobs crises, resurging poverty and long-term social uncertainty.<br /><br />Against this backdrop, the ILO has launched a year-long Voices on Social Justice Campaign to provide a global platform for perspectives on what social justice means today and how it might be achieved in the years to come.
