For International Women’s Day and beyond, let’s all fully #EmbraceEquity. Equity isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have. A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society’s DNA. And it’s critical to understand the difference between equity and equality.
Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity.
WIT believes that equity is not just a buzzword, but rather a critical aspect of creating a just and fair society. While equality aims to treat everyone the same, equity acknowledges that not everyone starts from the same place and provides the necessary resources and support to level the playing field.
This is especially important when it comes to gender equity, as women have historically faced systemic barriers and discrimination. By embracing equity, we can work towards creating a world where every person, regardless of gender, has equal opportunities to succeed and reach their full potential. On International Women’s Day and beyond, let’s all make a commitment to fully embrace equity and work towards a more equitable future for all.
