Social Justice
Social justice is a concept that is used to describe the movement towards a socially just world, (i.e. the Global Justice Movement). In this context, social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and equality, and can be defined as "the way in which human rights are manifested in the everyday lives of people at every level of society".
