Social Security was created in the context of the movement around the World
Social Forum since 2002. It was a thematic forum, initially focussed on health.
Since 2011 however it fully integrates the topics of social security and
broader social protection, including the right to civil and political security,
as well as social and economic security. A dialogue was developed on a broad
range of rights, such as the right to work, the right to a decent job and wage,
to housing, water, public security, a healthy environment, pensions, health,
education, justice, food and nutrition… in other words the whole interdependent
range of rights articulated within the global and collective right to
development.<span></span></span></p>

productivity by financial capital, debt and wage constraints. <b>Social protection with a redistribution of
