Equity assessments

Equity assessments are processes used to evaluate whether policies, programs, or decisions fairly address the needs of all groups, especially those historically marginalized or disadvantaged. They identify disparities and barriers that certain communities face, ensuring that resources and opportunities are distributed justly. The goal is to promote fairness and inclusivity, so everyone has an equal chance to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. This systematic review helps organizations make informed, equitable choices that promote social justice and community well-being.
