Justice is a fundamental aspect of any society that aspires to be fair, equitable and peaceful. By strengthening the justice system, facilitating practices of restorative justice, and promoting peace, it is possible to create a just and inclusive society where everyone has equal access to the justice system, and conflicts are resolved in a peaceful and equitable manner. Advocating for justice involves ensuring that all individuals are treated fairly and equally under the law, have access to legal remedies and mechanisms, and can participate fully in the justice system without discrimination. Justice encompasses both procedural and substantive dimensions, and it is important to address both aspects in order to promote a just and inclusive society. Challenging injustices involves particular focus on gender equality and children’s rights.
The goal of Gender Equality is to achieve a society where all individuals, regardless of gender, have equal access to opportunities, resources, and rights. This involves promoting and protecting the rights of women and girls, and eliminating all forms of gender-based violence. The first objective aims to ensure that women and girls are free from discrimination and violence, and have the same rights and opportunities as men and boys. This includes creating a safe and supportive environment for women and girls, and promoting gender-sensitive policies and practices.
The second objective is to ensure women's full and effective participation and equal opportunities in society, and end all forms of discrimination against them. This involves promoting women's leadership and decision-making roles in all spheres of life, including in politics, education, and the workplace. It also involves addressing the structural barriers and social norms that limit women's participation and opportunities, such as unequal pay, lack of access to education and healthcare, and gender stereotypes.
By achieving gender equality, it is possible to create a more just and equitable society, where all individuals can reach their full potential and contribute to the development of their communities and the world at large.

The promotion of peace and seeking an end to conflict and violence through peaceful conflict resolution and addressing the root causes of violence and conflict should be aimed for.
