Welcome to Why Care.ie!
We all have basic needs in our lives, such as; a secure home, good healthcare, enough food, an income and access to education. However, within our society, some of us may ave greater access to these basic supports than others.
What barriers can exist for some people in accessing these supports? What problems can these inequalities create in our society? Most importantly; why should we care?
Social Justice is very much about people; our rights and our needs. Promoting Social Justice involves challenging structures in society where we see that some people are disadvantaged in some way.

| This site has been created as an educational initiative by the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice - a non-profit organisation working on behalf of those suffering injustice or disadvantage in society. At the heart of our work lies the belief that every human being deserves dignity and respect. We work to achieve equality by representing the needs of some of the most marginalised people in our society, by seeking changes to governmental policy and practice and by raising public awareness on difficult social issues. |
