Equality
Equality refers to a state where things are the same or have equal value. It involves establishing a fair society that promotes equal opportunities for everyone. The goal is to ensure that individuals or groups have the same chances to thrive, fulfil their potential, and live a fulfilling life, without facing disadvantages or prejudice. Discrimination based on factors such as race, colour, ethnicity, gender, marital status, nationality, economic status, sex, health, religion, family structure, age, politics, disability, culture, sexual orientation, or beliefs goes against the principles of equality.
Diversity
Diversity, in its literal sense, refers to the concept of differences. It acknowledges that individuals or groups are not the same but rather unique, with varying qualities and characteristics. Despite these differences, there may also be shared aspects between them. Diversity encompasses both visible and invisible distinctions, including personal traits such as background, beliefs, culture, personality, ethics, values, and work style. It goes beyond the principles of equality by recognizing and appreciating these diverse characteristics. The ideal approach involves understanding and embracing the individual variations within individuals or groups, creating an environment that is safe, positive, productive, and nurturing. This fosters recognition, respect, and value for everyone’s contributions.
