Equity Literacy

Equity literacy refers to the understanding and ability to recognize, address, and challenge inequities in society, particularly related to race, gender, and socioeconomic status. It involves not only awareness of systemic injustice and privilege but also the skills to advocate for fair treatment and opportunities for all individuals. Being equity literate means identifying biases, understanding the impact of discrimination, and actively working towards creating inclusive environments. It goes beyond awareness to action, empowering individuals to contribute to a more equitable society in their personal and professional lives.
