In this episode, I will explain the difference between these two concepts and discuss why they matter in our efforts towards creating fair and inclusive spaces.
Key Takeaways:
1. Equality means creating a space where everyone has access to the same resources and experiences, while equity focuses on addressing the individual needs for a level playing field.
2. The perception of fairness plays a crucial role in understanding the limitations of equality and the necessity of equitable actions.
3. Labels and terminology are helpful in allowing us to recognise and address the inequities that exist, and talk about them in an meaningful way.
