Race and Gender Equity

Race and gender equity involve creating fair opportunities and outcomes for all individuals, regardless of their racial background or gender. It recognizes that historical and societal barriers have often disadvantaged certain groups. Equity aims to address these disparities by providing targeted support to ensure everyone can succeed and participate fully in social, economic, and cultural life. Unlike equality, which treats everyone the same, equity adjusts for different needs and barriers, fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is valued and marginalized groups can achieve fair treatment and representation.
