The concept of occupational justice, which first emerged in professional discourse in the late 1990s, is still being developed and debated in occupational therapy and occupational science (Whalley Hammell, 2016). An early description of occupational justice was asserted by Wilcock and Townsend (2000) as "equitable opportunity and resources to enable people's engagement in meaningful occupations" (p. 85). Occupational justice recognizes that "individuals are different and have different needs" (Stadnyk, Townsend, & Wilcock, 2010, p. 334). Because all people have different needs, occupational justice requires the ability to access and engage in occupations that one finds personally meaningful. The ability to engage in individually meaningful occupations is inherently linked to both the health and quality of life of the individual (Stadnyk et al., 2010). Therefore, when individuals are prevented from engaging in occupations they find meaningful, their health and quality of life will be negatively impacted. Forms of occupational injustice have been identified and categorized as occupational deprivation, occupational marginalization, occupational imbalance, and occupational apartheid (Kronenberg & Pollard, 2005; Townsend & Wilcock, 2004; Whiteford, 2005), and they are frequently experienced by marginalized populations.
