Social justice is the understanding of social and economic systems as both impactful and dynamic. It is the recognition of injustice and inequity present within the structures of society and the advocacy of fair relationships between individuals, communities and states in order to create a society where everyone can reach their fullest potential. Social justice seeks to bring about meaningful, long-term social change balancing rights and responsibilities for all, regardless of background or identity. This definition focuses on the need for transformative, equitable and inclusive action beyond legal compliance and mere policymaking. Social justice requires ongoing assessment, analysis, and revaluation to ensure it is offering everyone the same opportunities and outcomes.
