Social justice

As a term, “social justice” is vague and often misunderstood. To become a reality in every part of society – healthcare, education, employment, etc – social justice needs clearly-defined goals. With clear goals, solutions for change and progress are possible. A definition must consider four principles: access, equity, participation, and human rights. (Four Principles of Social Justice | Human Rights Careers)

The resources included in this category include publications which present the issues of social justice as well as potential solutions.
