@Mamako Equity refers to the principle of fairness and justice in which individuals are given access to the resources, opportunities, and supports they need in order to achieve their full potential, regardless of their race, gender, socioeconomic status or other characteristics. Equity involves recognizing and addressing systemic and structural barriers that may impede certain groups from fully participating in society and ensuring that everyone has an equal chance to succeed. It goes beyond legal and formal equality by actively working to level the playing field and provide support and assistance where needed.
