Power Imbalances

Power imbalances occur when one person or group has more influence, resources, or authority than another, leading to unequal control in a relationship or situation. This disparity can affect decision-making, access to opportunities, and fairness, often resulting in the less powerful party having limited ability to advocate for themselves or challenge the other. Recognizing power imbalances is important in establishing equitable interactions, whether in workplaces, personal relationships, or societal structures, to ensure fairness, respect, and autonomy for all involved.
