By Deborah Gray


Treating someone in an unfair way is referred to as injustice. This is often known as discrimination on the basis of culture, politics, religion or ethnic group. Homophobia is also a form of injustice by hating the sexual minority where one shows hatred towards bisexuals and transgender. Ageism is where people are discriminated due to their age and restraining them their constitutional rights. Below we discuss how we can overcome social injustices worldwide.

Most common form of injustice in the society is poverty. In this globe, we have the enormously rich whereas on the same globe we the extremely unfortunate persons living miserable lives. They are short of basic needs. Leaders in our society should create long lasting solution which can facilitate in bridging the gap between the rich and the poor.

According to Martin Luther King, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere. Gender inequality is happening all over the world. Women are being seen as objects. Thus rape is a no issue especially in countries such as India. Women should start being treated with the respect they deserve by being given the right to vote and have a say in the society. Countries that do not appreciate women should be given restrictions that would enable them change their perceptions.

Daily parents are dying due to various reasons. They leave behind children with no one taking care of them. This leads to them heading for the streets to seek safe haven. Others get admitted to childrens homes. Those left in the street start depending on well wishers. Every government needs to work out formulas that will see the orphans to receive basic needs and education.

In forms that are used for applying jobs, there is a section one is supposed to declare their ethnicity. This can be term as a form of injustice because most of those employers will consider those of a certain ethnic group over the others instead of carrying out a fare consideration to all the applicants. People and leaders need to unite and push for unity because achievement is color colorless.

Abuse of children is done physically, in words and sexually and is a common practice worldwide. The authorities should prosecute the offenders and creating laws that will help eradicate such cases. Many children drop out of school due to the abuse they endure. Let the relevant personnel educate the nation on the need of education and help stop child abuse.

Sex trafficking is common in many countries to date. This happens mostly to ladies of young age and traffickers earn money out of it. They sell the girls to people whose agenda is to use them for sex. Its an unacceptable action and the offenders should not go unpunished.

Countries that are constantly in war cause grief to many after the death of their loved ones. This is an injustice to the bereaved families and should be avoided if possible. The only way this can take place is trying to create peace among his countries. Social injustices will com to an end if we all play our parts.
