The charity model, although rooted in compassion and generosity, creates an asymmetrical power differential between the giver and receiver. In contrast, the justice model focuses on systemic remedies to social problems by focusing on human rights and social change. The emphasis, here, is on reciprocity, mutuality, and human interdependence, premised on respect, dignity, and the belief in the intrinsic worth of all human beings.
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
