Injusticewith

Injusticewith is a neologism used to describe the perception or occurrence of injustice that is inherently tied to another condition or factor that accompanies it. The construction emphasizes co-occurrence, framing an unfair outcome as something that happens “with” an additional dimension, such as poverty, discrimination, or bureaucratic barriers.

Origin and usage: The term appears primarily in informal online discourse and occasional analytic writing. It does not have established scholarly consensus or broad historical usage, and it is not widely cited in peer-reviewed literature. In discussions, it is often used to highlight multi-factor harms that cannot be understood in isolation.

Conceptual scope: Injusticewith is employed to analyze cases where unfair outcomes are linked to interacting factors. It complements existing frameworks like cumulative disadvantage or intersectionality by focusing on explicit pairings of injustice with a contextual factor. The term can be used in policy analysis, legal studies, and social research to draw attention to how multiple harms reinforce one another.

Examples: A housing policy that increases eviction risk particularly for tenants with immigrant status could be described as injusticewith immigration status. A legal backlog that disproportionately harms rural residents with limited digital access could be described as injusticewith the digital divide.
