What is equity?

Equity is the state of being fair and just. It is about ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. Equity is not the same as equality, which means treating everyone the same. Equity recognizes that some people have faced historical and systemic barriers that have made it more difficult for them to succeed. Equity is about leveling the playing field so that everyone has a fair chance to reach their full potential.

Why is equity important?

Equity is important because it is essential for a just and fair society. When people are denied equity, they are denied the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute to society. This has a negative impact on everyone, not just those who are directly affected by inequality. Equity is also important for economic prosperity. When everyone has the opportunity to succeed, the economy grows and everyone benefits.
