Social
injustice is something that has existed since the beginning of society in many shapes,
constantly changing its parameters, and has constantly been a cause of conflict
and debate. I think this social problem is the root of most of the conflicts
inside our society, which is why I decided to treat this subject, because if
people were more conscious about how much this phenomenon affects us, they
would try to find a solution.
One
particular form of social injustice that has caught particular attention in
recent year is gender inequality, this refers to unequal treatment or
perceptions of individuals based on their gender. Gender
inequality remains a major barrier to human development. Even though women have
made a big progress, they still have not achieved the equality. Gender
inequality has prompted negative repercussions in the development of their
capabilities, limiting their opportunities.
In
the past, women were considered inferior to men, and that is why it was thought
that women should take the housewife role, without right of family planning,
education, work, opinion, etc; the women´s role in the past was subordinate to
a world ruled by the values and actions of men.
In
a global world, we are getting used to see the injustice as something normal,
for us, is logical that people who are in an upper middle class and the higher
class are the ones that has the best opportunities even if they are not really
prepared, we don´t realize that there is a lot of people trying to reach a
better status, but we do not give them a chance, we just think they are lazy
people. We are becoming indifferent to human suffering.
The
fight against any type of injustice, it is a collective struggle, they cannot
just be there seeing all the iniquities that are happening now days, this is
not a fight that have to be faced only by those who are suffering it, is a
fight that requires the support of every one of us, because there´s where
change begins.
