Injustice - GCSE Religious Studies Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Published

Injustice refers to the lack or violation of fairness and moral rightness. This often happens as discrimination, inequality, or unfair treatment towards individuals or groups. In the context of GCSE Religious Studies, injustice is a key concept often explored through themes like social justice, human rights, and ethical principles. Students examine how different religions and belief systems address and challenge various forms of injustice, emphasising the importance of compassion and equality in society. Understanding injustice helps students critically assess real-world issues and develop a sense of moral responsibility to act against unfair practices.
