Perpetrator, Bystander, Ally & TargetROLES OF INJUSTICE

The perpetrator commits the act of injustice…. The perpetrator can be a person,

or a group of people, or even a law.

PERPETRATOR

A target is the person who is the target of injustice. The target can be an individual, but can also be a group. We can be targets on a

personal level, but people are also often targets of injustice because of their gender, race, socio-economic standing, country of origin, age, religion, or sexual orientation.

TARGET

The bystander is a person who observes the act of injustice, but who does nothing to intervene, nothing to stop the injustice.

BYSTANDERS

Allies are people who stand up for someone when they face injustice. They intervene

when someone is mistreated; they don’t stand by and watch; they don’t participate in the

injustice, and they don’t run away when someone else is suffering.
