An inclusive society is based on the principles of social justice. It allows all people access and full participation in society, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic group, race, religion and socioeconomic status.[1] That includes involving people with disabilities in everyday activities and making sure they have access to resources and opportunities similar to their non-disabled peers.[2][3]
In an inclusive society an individual finds themselves in a healthy environment. This can be in the form of development, education, volunteering etc.[4]
Obstacles
Expanding social protection is essential for all countries to achieve sustainable development goals.[5] In an inclusive society, it does not matter where you come from, who you love or whether you have an illness or disability.[6] However, an inclusive society does not arise by itself. This primarily depends on the reforms carried out by the elected government structures. But, there are still closed governments that suppress human rights and freedoms in order to maintain their long-term power. In 2020, Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, stated that the crisis has sharply exposed global inequalities. According to Klaus Schwab, the pandemic has unmasked leaders who work primarily for themselves and not for the benefit of citizens.[7]
Development
As defined by the United Nations, an inclusive society is a set of coordinated social institutions that transcends differences of race, gender, generation, geography and ensures inclusion, equal opportunities and the determination of the capabilities of all members of society.[8] All the developed countries in the world are currently working on the full establishment of such societies.[9]
Inclusion consists of empowering members of society who have been discriminated against and whose rights have been violated as a result of social and political processes.

Objectives
The promise of leaving no one behind is one of the defining features of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.The 2030 Agenda envisions peaceful, just and inclusive societies in which all people can fulfill their potential with dignity and equality. Failure to provide inclusive societies is identified as a root cause of violence and slows down sustainable development. Goals 10 and 16 directly address an inclusive society. Achieving an inclusive society by reducing inequality worldwide, with a focus on equal opportunities and expanded representation, is a key requirement for sustainable peace.[12]
Mechanisms of economic growth in inclusive societies are posted on the website of the World Economic Forum.[13]
Benefits to people
The benefits of an inclusive societies approach to people have been proven through research.[14] The desired impacts range from economic benefits to other development goals, social cohesion and lasting peace.[15]
However, there is little evidence on whether inclusiveness makes peace processes and political settlements more inclusive or more sustainable.[16] Research in this direction is still being conducted.[17]
