Social justice lies at the heart of efforts to eradicate poverty, ensuring that every individual has equal opportunities, rights, and dignity. Poverty is not just a lack of material resources; it is a manifestation of deep-rooted injustices and inequalities within societies. By addressing these injustices and promoting social justice, we can create a more equitable world where poverty is no longer a barrier to human flourishing.
Addressing Structural Inequality: Social justice requires addressing the structural inequalities that perpetuate poverty, including unequal access to resources, opportunities, and power. This means challenging systems of oppression such as racism, sexism, classism, and discrimination based on ethnicity, religion, or disability, which disproportionately affect marginalized communities and perpetuate cycles of poverty.
