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.

Among the most common injustices common in our society is the poverty. The world has those who are extremely rich while on the other end we have extremely poor people living low and miserable lives. They lack the basic needs. Leaders of our society should come up with lasting solutions that will enable bridge the gap between the poor and rich.

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 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.

Child abuse physically, verbally and sexually is common in worldwide. The authority should take stern actions by penalizing the offenders and coming up with laws that will help in a reduction of such cases. In some countries a child is forced to drop school at some point and these people need to be enlightened on the importance of education on a child.

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.

Warring countries leads to many people loosing their lives leaving people grieving over their loved ones. This is a form of unfairness and can be avoided if the wars are brought to an end. This can only be successful if all the leaders and people can unite and say no to more wars and create peace.
