Social justice- justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society
The UDHR was adopted by the newly established United Nations on 10 December 1948, in response to the “barbarous acts which […] outraged the conscience of mankind” during the Second World War. Its adoption recognised human rights to be the foundation for freedom, justice and peace.
Article 1- all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights
Article 4- No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms
Quotes
‘The rich and the poor meet together; the LORD is the Maker of them all.’ - Proverbs 22:2
‘For God shows no partiality.’- Romans 2:11

Social justice is described as a goal in making sure that everyone in society matters irrespective of factors such as race, gender, age and ethnicity.
Therefore everyone is supposedly treated with rights and respect that can provide all people with equal opportunities in life chances such as education and employment where social injustice can prevail against some people based on some of the factors mentioned above.
Aim of UDHR: equal treatment, freedom of expression, protection from degrading treatment.
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity.
-Mother Theresa

Social justice: Total equality in society, including everyone receiving the same treatment and opportunities, having freedom of speech, and not being oppressed by governments, law or regular citizens.
Human rights: All humans should have access to human rights, such as freedom from slavery, freedom of speech and the right to life in general.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights works to ensure that everyone has human rights, no matter who they are, where they live or what background they come from. The UDHR has 4 main principles: universal and inalienable, interdependent and indivisible, equal and non-discriminatory, and both rights and obligations.
“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute” - Psalm 82:3.

Article 9-No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Article 6 -Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.
Article 5 - No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Social justice: the act of ensuring that an individual contributes to society by fulfilling their roles and receive what is their due from society.
Human rights: rights that belong to every person.
It was created to protect people from torture, discrimination based on caste and colour. Also, to provide the freedom of being able to live by one’s own religious and cultural practices. Especially after WW2, the need to protect groups of different ethnicities, races and religions became immense.
“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. … Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
