Social justice
Social justice relates to fairness within society, making sure that every
Australian - Indigenous and non-Indigenous - has choices about how they live and the means to
make those choices.
Social justice four components
Human rights, access, participation, equity
human rights
Relate to the freedoms and conditions that every person is entitled to, regardless of factors such as race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age and sex. Governments must work to ensure that all people have their human rights protected, respected and promoted.
access
All people must have adequate access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive, including food, safe water, shelter, education, employment, income and health care, and to participate in the decisions that affect their lives, such as if and when they get married or have children, or the sorts of jobs they do.
participation
Everyone in society has the opportunity to participate in their community and have their voice represented.
Equity
Disadvantaged individuals and groups need to have their specific challenges addressed, so they can achieve the same level of health and wellbeing as others in the population. In this sense, equity relates to providing more support for those who need it.
whether the initiative is culturally appropriate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
The consultation, use and training of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander personnel in planning and delivering the program — culture is a strong influence in the lives of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Ensuring interventions are culturally appropriate can assist in increasing participation in the program and improved health and wellbeing outcomes.
Actions of the Ottawa charter are evident
Action areas of the Ottawa Charter that are
evident in the initiative, including:
develop personal skills
strengthen community action
Actual improvements in health outcomes that have been made as a result of the initiative
Effective initiatives conduct research to determine the level of success
achieved. This information can provide evidence for the actual successes of the
initiative and the improvements to health outcomes that have been achieved.
Whether the initiative addresses a
significant health issue for ATSI Peoples
Why it is important to address this
issue. For example, food intake is a key
contributor to negative health outcomes for many ATSI people. Focusing on this factor can therefore contribute to significant improvements in ATSI health outcomes.
Feedback provided by participants
Those taking part in the program often provide information about their personal experiences, which can indicate the level of success in promoting Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander health outcomes.
