Introduction
Social justice and human rights are the cornerstones of a fair and equitable society. In South Africa, where the legacy of apartheid still lingers, promoting social justice and protecting human rights is more important than ever. Whether you’re an individual, a community leader, or part of an organization, there are actionable steps you can take to make a difference. Here are five practical ways to promote social justice and protect human rights in your community.

1. Educate Yourself and Others
