Morphology
The meaning 'the fair distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'social' (relating to society) with 'justice' (fairness), so a learner who knows both words can compose the concept. This composition is cross-linguistically common and therefore straightforward for a B1 learner, even if the broader political concept is somewhat abstract.
Etymology
Social justice puts together social, which means 'about society', and justice, which means 'fairness'. The image is a whole community kept in balance, with fair sharing of money, chances, and rights for everyone, which is why it means 'the fair distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges'.
