The term “equity” can be understood in many ways but the most common is that in relation to fairness and a situation in which everyone is treated equally.
However, equity goes beyond giving everyone “a seat at the table”, it is also about a commitment to making that table bigger and fairer to all people irrespective of sex, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity, religion or other status as stated in Goal 10 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), “Reduce inequality within and among countries”.
