Ways To Overcome Social Injustices Worldwide

By Deborah Gray


Treating people in a way that is not fair is an injustice. This is discrimination of someone on because of their culture, political stand, religion or ethnic groups. Another form of injustice is called Homophobia where one hates the sexual minority such as gays and lesbians. The other one is ageism. The old will get discriminated and denied their rights due to their age. Lets base our discussion on how we can overcome social injustices worldwide.

Poverty is one among the social injustices common in our society today. We find that there are filthy rich people in the world and the extremely poor people in our society. Some die daily due to lack of the basic needs such as water and shelter. To overcome these challenge, the leaders should come up long lasting solutions that will end drought thus the poor will not feel neglected.

Martin Luther Ling stated clearly that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere. Another injustice affecting the society is gender inequality. People view women as just objects. Due to this, rape takes often especially in India. It should be compulsory for everyone to treat women with respect and giving them rights to vote and let their voices heard. In countries where women are not appreciated, action should be taken against them.

Parents are dying in our society on a daily bases. Those who get affected most are the children left behind. Due to the poverty rate and lack someone to take care of them, they hit the streets for survival. Some end up in childrens home where there are people to take good care of them. Those in the streets depend on passersby for survival. All governments should come up with strategies to take good care of these kids.

In many job application forms, there is usually a place you are supposed to declare your ethnicity. Indirectly, this is a term of injustice because some of these employers will offer the job to a certain ethnic group rather than having a fare consideration to all applicants. The people and leaders should all unite and fight for unity among all because achievement does not have color.

Abuse of kids is made physically, vocally and sexually. This practice is common worldwide. Relevant authorities need to prosecute offenders and create laws which will help get rid of such cases. Many kids dump school due to abuse they are going through. Leaders should educate people on the need for education and move into curbing child abuse as having a civilized society helps eliminate these behaviors.

Until today, sex trafficking is a common exercise. Those who get affected mostly are ladies and under aged girls. These traffickers make money of this. The girls are sold to cartels whose aim is to use them for their sex satisfactions. This is an offensive and those caught doing it should rot in jail.

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.
