The Equity Paradigm

The Equity Paradigm refers to the idea that people should have fair access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making processes, regardless of their background or circumstances. It emphasizes addressing disparities and ensuring that everyone receives support tailored to their specific needs to achieve equality of outcomes. Unlike equality, which treats everyone the same, equity recognizes that different individuals may require different levels of assistance to succeed. This approach aims to create a more just society by removing barriers and promoting inclusivity, ensuring that everyone has the chance to thrive.
