1. You need justice when you have been treated unfairly, cheated, hurt, or denied your basic rights by others.
2. Justice means fairness in how people are treated and how rules are applied. It is the idea that everyone should get what they truly deserve.

   To have justice means treating every single person the same way, no matter how they look, where they come from, or what they believe.

   When someone does something bad to another person, justice ensures the wrong is corrected and the person who caused harm faces the consequences.
