To me social justice means fighting for rights of equality in humanity, including justifiably fighting for an end on social issues that constantly generate the morals of society and unfair actions from a local community to a nation, and from a nation to an extent that the issue goes on to a global issue. Justice should be referred to more than just having a law that diminishes the accomplices of a certain issue.
Social justice refers to the conceptions of a society. The word "justice" alludes on more than the polar organization from claiming laws. It will be dependent upon the thought expected moral cultures that make people act upon an issue for a change. Different aspects of social justice from diverse interpretations constitute reasonable understandings. Social justice may be a philosophical issue and a critical issue from a governmental perspective. Social justice itself has a tendency to utilize different perspectives from people who go against and people who support the case. Different perspectives generate for law but they should go for more than react to the basic human rights. Social justice is likewise an idea that some utilization will portray the development towards a social universe. Social justice may be dependent upon the ideas of human privileges and equity. |
Introduction
In my experiences, sometimes walking to an early bus home from school has made me feel unsafe. Therefore, being in an empty bus, where I’m the only girl with just men, makes me feel paranoid and scared to be a victim of rape. The feeling gets worse when I find to have no weapons such as pepper spray or keys to protect myself from any attacker. I’ve been a victim of catcalling. My recent experience was when I was walking home from school and a large man comes walking towards me and asks for my name. I ignored him and tried to walk quickly to my destination. Situations like these are so common for many young women, but at times, the assault doesn’t just remain verbal; the assaults at a family can become physical.
One night when my drunk uncle asked for me, I already felt my heart pounding quickly. I didn’t want to go into his room, but when my mean cousins try to trick me, they said that my uncle will give me a toy and they forced me into his room. My uncle asked to close the door and made me sit into a chair by his bed. I was really scared that I started crying. He asked for my name and I didn’t know why. As I continued to cry, he yelled at me to shut up and starts unraveling my hair while squeezing my arm. As I cried louder, I tried to run out of his room, but he wouldn’t let me out. As he blocks me with his hand, my older sisters come to my rescue. As selfish as my grandparents are, they called me a crybaby not believing anything of what I had experienced. I since then felt disgusted that my own uncle would try to abuse his own niece. I could have been a victim of rape, and although I am not, it feels horrible, and it would have felt even worse to be that victim. No such woman or man should go through these experiences. In my own experiences it feels disgusting to find that I might have lost myself. Learning from these experiences at a young age of six I had taught myself about the the issues that women and men are surrounded with; however, as a women I learned that it is more beneficial for me to protect myself from this surrounding cause. An individual may think that it’s pleasure, but it is never a victim’s fault for being raped or sexually assaulted.
The rise in sexual assault for the last twenty-five years, reveals a culture obsessed with women-shaming rather than feminism. As a matter of fact, women experience body-shaming in various ways. When girls develop their assets, they are seen as sex objects, and for being slut shamed and sexualized, they are expected to follow a certain dress code in schools or in other public places. Some argue that this is because it may be a distraction to boys who can’t control themselves(Halkidis, 2014). Women’s bodies up for scrutiny does not stop at a young age; actually, this type of “body-shaming” continues into adulthood; therefore, it’s hypocritical that at times women’s bodies are seen as “sexy,” but at different times and at true based perspectives, it is seen as “disgusting.” For example, some people find it disgusting to find women breastfeeding out in public places (Bologna, 2016).
It is certain that today there are at least 237,868 victims of sexual assaults. In America, 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men will be a victim of sexual assault. In every 2 minutes, another American is sexually assaulted and 44% of these victims are under the age of 18 (Gaiman, 2014). Victims of sexual assault are three times more likely to suffer from depression, six times more likely to suffer from PTSP, 13 times more likely to abuse alcohol, 26 times more likely to abuse drugs, and 4 times more likely to scrutinize suicide (Gaiman, 2014). These are the effects of sexual violence, but there many reasons that come from society’s mind that make unwanted sexual contact happen.
