Give Examples of social injustice?

We see the social injustice against women in the novel Parvana and Newspaper article “Mukhtar Fought Back”. In the novel Parvana we were shown social injustice where eleven year old girl Parvana had to masquerade as a boy to gain access to the outside world. For much of the story her father is imprisoned leaving only her mother, older sister and two very young siblings.

I believe that humans, female or male have desire to learn but discover that the laws are so socially restricting for females that they must resort to disguise and further risks. This is injustice not only to females but humankind. I think since the “Taliban” were corrupted in their beliefs they carried these laws on women. As there were misbelieves at higher level, people under them followed the road of injustice for e.g. some soldiers raped women who didn’t cover themselves including their face. This also shows why parents in third world countries desire to have a male child because the boys provide more freedom and measures to families.

This shows that today there are societies ...
