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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
