Promoting social integration through social inclusion

Date:
Issue: Poverty Eradication
Category: UN General Assembly Reports on Social Development

The resolution promotes social integration through social inclusion, reaffirming commitments from Copenhagen (1995), the 2030 Agenda, and welcoming the momentum from the Second World Summit for Social Development (Doha, 4–6 Nov 2025). It stresses that poverty, exclusion and inequality have worsened due to recent crises, and calls for a “society for all” based on human rights, equality, non-discrimination and participation, especially for groups furthest behind. 

It urges Member States to strengthen universal social protection, ensure access to basic services (food, health, water/sanitation, housing, education and jobs), expand inclusive labour markets, remove discriminatory laws, and promote participation of marginalized groups (women, youth, older persons, persons with disabilities, migrants, Indigenous Peoples, minorities). It also highlights the need to close digital divides, promote financial inclusion, improve disaggregated data on exclusion and multidimensional poverty, and requests a UN report on implementation for the 82nd session.
