Feminist justice ethics

Okay, kiddo, let's start by asking you a question. Have you ever heard of the word "feminist"? It's a big word that means someone who believes in treating everyone fairly, no matter their gender (whether they are a boy or a girl or something else).

Now, when we talk about "justice", we mean fairness. So when we say "feminist justice", we mean treating everyone fairly, but especially girls and women.

Feminist justice ethics is a way of thinking about what is fair or unfair when it comes to how people are treated based on their gender. It's like a set of rules that help us decide what is right and what is wrong, in terms of how we treat people.

One of the most important things about feminist justice ethics is that it aims to address the unfairness and inequalities that girls and women can face in our society. For example, sometimes girls and women are not given the same opportunities as boys and men, or they might be paid less for doing the same job.

Feminist justice ethics says that this is not fair and that we need to work to change it. It encourages us to think about ways we can create a more equal and just society for everyone, no matter who they are or what their gender is.

So, to sum it up, feminist justice ethics is about being fair to everyone, but especially to girls and women, and trying to make the world a more equal and just place for everyone to live.
