Senior 2 Christian Religious Education: Justice in Society

These notes by Aidah Nabukenya of Trinity College Nabbingo define justice and injustice through fair and unfair treatment of others. They identify contemporary injustices such as corruption, discrimination, exploitative trading, child abuse and bullying. The resource outlines ways African traditional societies promoted justice through shared resources, local courts, reconciliation, compensation and cultural norms. It also presents examples of practices described as unjust, including forced marriage, human sacrifice, the killing of twins and unequal treatment of women. A concluding assignment asks learners to research injustices in particular African societies and present their findings in class.
