The law regulates social behavior and is concerned with ensuring justice and equity among people
Rights are in charge of representing the institutional order of a given place and are concerned in some way with regulate the behaviors of individuals living in a community, allowing the resolution of social conflicts that arouse.
The right it has the mission in any society to achieve justice, that is its ultimate goal and for this it is composed of a series of legal norms that deal with it.
The law can be divided into different branches, thus we find the Public LawOn the one hand, the state intervenes as an authority with coercive powers and the Private rightIn this case the legal relationships are established by individuals.
All disciplines of law without exceptions share the desire for justice and it is in this sense that they act.
Take action to counter social inequalities and protect the unprotected
Now, we must also say that there are a series of social groups that in many situations are suffering from a situation of
inequality with respect to others... this has happened for a long time with women who had to fight a lot to earn the place they occupy today in society and also achieve equality of rights before the law. On the other hand, we cannot fail to mention the minorities who always suffer inequity, such is the case of disabled people, immigrants, indigenous communities, refugees, and any other group that represents a minority such as the homosexuals.Then, Social Law turns out to be one of the branches of Law that arises in Public Law from changes in ways of life.
Its main and great mission is to order and correct the inequalities that exist between social classes with the clear objective of protecting people from the different contingencies that may arise from day to day day.
You must endeavor to comply with the laws in all those areas in which people present some type of lack of protection or legal helplessness or where the legal recognition that the rest of the population does have is lacking.
There, in that place where there is a low social inequality is where the social right must be present, firm and fighting. The aim is that no person is outside the rights of her peers because that is an injustice and an inadmissible social inequity.
Action contexts
There are many contexts in which situations of inequality occur and the examples are the most varied, However, it is recurrent that social law, with all the weight of the law that it admits, intervenes in matters such as the discrimination exercised at the behest of work, a woman who, for example, is fired when she announces that she has become pregnant.
In family matters you will also have to intervene, when a member of a family is violated in some of their rights and needs protection.
When children are viciously exploited by an adult, they must also interfere in social law to flatly stop this tremendous situation that can lead to serious developmental complications for the less.
Likewise, Social Law includes other branches of law such as the labor law, the right to social security, immigration law and agrarian law.
It is worth noting that the division into different subunits of the law facilitates the study but in terms of the specific application of the rules, it does not turn out any type of relevance, since all branches of law are at some point related to each other and interacting in any legal process that is arouse.
The concept of Social Law is much less widespread than the concepts of Public Law and Private Law, the explanation of this question is found in the fact that the definition of law in itself supposes the existence of a social fact, for which the concept of Social Law is not given much more relevance.
Social rights
On your side, Social Rights they are those that are universally guaranteed to each individual, they are equivalent to human rights. These are in some way the rights that humanize individuals, their relationships and also the environment in which they develop. Among them, the following stand out: the right to a job, to a salary, to social protection, if needed, the right to retirement, to insurance unemployment, maternity leave, illness, occupational accidents, among others, the right to a home, to education, health, a healthy and healthy environment, culture and all areas of public life.
