It is a social science term.

1) socially unacceptable; 2) abuse caused by ignorance
"Societal" means relating to society or to the way society is organized.
1)- alien to societal norms, say - drug abuse. This term is also applicable to a small community, say - drunks with bottles in their hands in the children's playground in a small village, which lives by high moral standards.
2) refers to injustice towards unfortunates, reputation of which was put down by mistake in courts; the elderly or mentally ill.

Since you have no "other" context, I'm just providing one example of what your term might mean.
Societal abuse refers to the disadvantages that a group experience as a result of unjust social structures. People with mental illness are among the most marginalized, oppressed, devalued and stigmatized populations in our society. They experience a range of societal abuses, including barriers to health care, lack of employment, difficulty accessing and maintaining adequate housing, and discrimination. Nurses are in a unique position to address social inequity and societal abuse as advocates for health and well-being. The author addresses the impact of societal abuse and presents ways in which nurses can advocate for people with mental illness.
