Abstract

Theoretical analysis of Fraser's and Honneth's critical perspectives on social justice is made, presenting their relationship with migration as a current social phenomenon; also, the different social problems faced by migrants, which require normative and moral frameworks that promote social recognition through social participation in the spaces of daily life. At the same time, the different types of justice (distributive and recognition) are presented as the theoretical basis for the design of intervention devices to reduce the social gaps that originate from social injustices: discrimination, xenophobia, and racism experienced by migrants in the social contexts of arrival and which are exacerbated by the lack of distribution, political participation, and recognition. It is concluded that it is necessary to incorporate the framework of social justice in social intervention practices from a perspective centered on the subjects and the context in which they carry out their daily lives and occupations.
