🌍 Beyond measuring inequality — towards transforming it.IASSW, ICSW, ICSD and IFSW welcome the international initiative to establish an International Panel on Inequality (IPI) within the UN system.Inequality is not only about income and wealth. It is also about power, participation, access to health, education, housing and social protection, discrimination, environmental inequalities, and whose voices shape decisions.🤝 We call for a Panel that is interdisciplinary, participatory and people-centred, bringing together economic expertise with social work, social sciences, human rights, public health, education and, crucially, the knowledge and lived experiences of communities affected by inequality.⚖️ It is time to move beyond measuring the consequences of inequality and towards transforming the structures that produce and sustain it.#inequality #SocialJustice #humanrights #socialwork #socialdevelopment
