The IRP defines Social Justice as:
The full participation and inclusion of all people in society, together with the promotion and protection of their legal, civil, and human rights. The aim of social justice—to achieve a just and equitable society where all share in the prosperity of that society—is pursued by individuals and groups through collaborative social action.
But Social Justice is defined differently at ends of the free-for-all Wiki political spectrum & in peer-reviewed source, too.
