Today is International Women’s Day and for today and beyond, let’s all fully #EmbraceEquity.
Equity isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have. And it’s critical to understand the difference between equity and equality.
The words equity and equality are often used interchangeably.
So, what’s the difference between ‘equity’ and ‘equality’ – and why is it important to understand, acknowledge and value this?
The IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign theme seeks to get the world talking about why “equal opportunities are no longer enough” – and can in fact be exclusionary, rather than inclusive.
Let’s start with a basic definition of each word.
Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities.
Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances, and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.
Our team celebrated International Women’s Day with a morning tea.
