In what context does the Ottawa Charter promote social justice?

The Ottawa Charter promotes social justice primarily by fostering equity through collective action. It emphasizes that health should be a fundamental human right and that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, should have access to the resources necessary to lead a healthy life. This approach recognizes that health inequalities exist due to various social determinants, such as socioeconomic status, education, and environment.

By advocating for collective action, the Charter encourages communities to work together to address these inequalities. This includes initiatives that empower marginalized groups, support healthy public policies, and create environments that promote health for all. The idea is that through collaboration and shared responsibility, communities can create more equitable health outcomes. This focus on collective action is a key component of achieving social justice in health.
