Being equitable means treating people fairly and justly without favoritism or discrimination. It involves giving people what they are due or entitled to based on principles of justice and fairness.
In the context of social justice and equity, being equitable means ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. This can involve addressing and redressing systemic inequalities and biases that have historically disadvantaged certain groups of people.
For example, in employment, being equitable means providing all employees with the resources and support they need to succeed rather than just providing these resources to some employees while denying them to others. In the workplace, being equitable also means treating all employees fairly and respectfully rather than based on discriminating factors af race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc.
Overall, being equitable means treating people with fairness, justice, and respect and working to create a more equal and just society.
