Ways To Overcome Social Injustices Worldwide

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.

You find that in most job application forms, they will ask of your ethnicity. These is a form of racism as to many bosses they would rather offer a job to a person of a certain ethnic group rather than the others. One thing that our leaders should fight for is unity among all irrespective of the color as achievement has no color.

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.

Warring states have lead to people losing lives in large numbers leaving behind their loved in state of grieve. This is can be termed as unfairness its avoidable if the wars can be brought to an end forever. This can be applicable only if leaders and people commit themselves and unite and saying no to wars and create peace.
