Difference Between Equality And Equity by Olofintoto(op): 7:22am On Jan 31, 2016
Most people might be confusing equality with equity and to be real the two terms are different.

What is equity?
Justice, impartiality or fairness.
" In the simplest terms, it means fairness,
which is not necessarily the same thing as
equality. It’s not about everybody getting
the same thing, it’s about everybody
getting what they need in order to improve
the quality of their situation.”- Cynthia
Silva Parker.

Equality
The fact of being equally, of having the same value.
The equal treatment of people irrespective of social or cultural differences.
Are you for equity or equality?
