- Just relationships
- Justice changes the structures of our society from oppressive to life giving structures.
- Distributive justice (Benefits and resources within the society shall be properly distributed among all the members of the society, and no discrimination shall be allowed to rise)
A system or an economy based or exploitation can never be an abode of justice. e.g. globalization policies
- Restorative Justice
- Peace is based on Justice (no one is oppressed and used and exploited and marginalized)
- Laws, policies of the state and institutions are made to serve and protect the most vulnerable sectors of our society.
- Elimination of institutionalized domination
Social justice is a condition wherein humanity lives in relationship and solidarity with God and all of God’s creation, resulting in fairness, well-being, and harmony.
PEACE
- PEACE is based on justice. No Justice no Peace.
- Not the absence of war but the absence of structures that serve and protect the most vulnerable sectors of our society;
