Equity is an approach that ensures everyone has access to the same opportunities. Improving equity is to promote justice, impartiality and fairness within procedures, processes, and distribution of resources by institutions or systems. It is a process that acknowledges uneven starting places and seeks to correct the imbalance. I think to tackle equity issues will require an understanding of the underlying or root causes of disparities within our society. Equity is distinct from equality in that equality is treating everyone “the same,” but it only works if everyone starts from the same place, and all need the same help. Equity makes the necessary adjustments to ensure inclusive experiences and fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all.
