Equality → Equity → Justice
Individuals and communities must be willing to move from thinking everyone requires the ‘same’ level of support (equality) to providing supports to overcome any barriers they encounter (equity) to have individuals and communities working to remove the barriers for those who are marginalized (justice).
EQUALITY
The state or quality of being equal, especially in status, rights and opportunities
Ponder
Why does a society need to have everyone measured to the same standard?
Is this the same in all societies or does it differ based on location?
Review the following slide and determine which animal is going to pass the test with no intervention and which animal will require the most interventions? Think about why this would be the case. Is it fair? An example intervention might be to provide stairs.
EQUITY
The quality of being fair and impartial; takes into account a person’s unique circumstance and adjusts treatments accordingly so that the end result is equal. Closely linked to equality, diversity and inclusion.
In order to have an equitable society, every person or community must be provided the resources that will allow them to be successful. Equity refers to fairness and equality in outcomes, not just in supports and opportunity
Ponder
Review the following slide and determine what resource was used to create the equity. Can you give other examples of resources from your community?
