Abstract
AEPF drafted a Global Charter of Social Protection Rights. Its main objective is to promote a different philosophy on social protection, one that goes beyond the traditional rights, that encompasses environmental needs and bridges the unacceptable gap between production and reproduction. In our perspective, social protection is a commons, emerging from the democratic and participatory actions of citizens with demands for public authorities. Social protection is not a correction mechanism for the economic system but should be transformative, that is, contribute to a better productive system and to the sustainability of life, strengthening other actions that work for system change. We see social protection as a collective and democratic endeavour for achieving a life in dignity for all. The text is not a text with demands, but with principles.
