Social justice means that everyone’s human rights are respected and protected. Everyone has equal opportunities. Social justice depends on four essential goals: human rights, access, participation, and equity. Social justice can’t be achieved without these four principles.Social justice is the justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. Justice concerns obligation of individuals to community and its end of the common good. The major components of the social justice are equitable society, distribution of profit/loss without prejudice, healthy social relation, participation in decision making process, accountable government, decentralization of government, free and fair judicial system, easy and equal access to information, services, and resources.
