16.	Qual é a relação entre justiça, equidade e igualdade?

# data[].attributes.body
Partindo inicialmente de uma breve apresentação destes três conceitos, podemos dizer que a igualdade é definida como o mesmo ou até exatamente igual. Justiça passa pelo ato de ser justo ou apropriado nas circunstâncias enquanto, a equidade é definida como a qualidade de ser justo e imparcial.

Assim sendo, a igualdade e a equidade podem ser inerentemente diferentes, mas também estão ligadas entre si. De modo que seja possível criar uma verdadeira igualdade de oportunidades, a equidade é necessária para assegurar que todos tenham a mesma oportunidade de lá chegar. Contudo é sempre necessário agir com cautela quando lidamos com a equidade, é necessário a existência de justiça pois, fornecendo demasiado àqueles que não o fazem pode gerar ainda mais desigualdades além do já existe atualmente.

I have been a part of multiple conversations [chats/tweets/Voxer groups] discussing fair versus equitable versus equal. I have to admit at this point even I am confused as the words are so closely related. I know treating students 100% the same 100% of the time in 100% of the situations is not a good thing. But how do we describe this to students and to each other?

One of the conversations, that gave me pause to ponder, centered on the idea of limiting homework as sending work home poses an equity issue. Someone in the conversation stated that home differs greatly from student to student, so the most equitable place for a student to work is at school. After that discussion, I really started to wonder about what I thought equity, fairness, and equality were because everyone seemed to have differing opinions.

The statements "equal doesn't mean the same," "equity doesn't mean equal," and "equal doesn't mean fair" are made a lot during the conversations. I think the confusion in the three statements arises, even though most people are making the same point, is that the conversation does not go deep enough.

Let's look at quick definitions to establish a baseline:

Equal is defined as the same or exactly alike. [Equality]

Fair is defined as just or appropriate in the circumstances. [Fairness]

Equity is defined as the quality of being fair and impartial.

Equal is the easy one. I think in today's world, it is agreed people and students are different and treating everyone the same in every situation is not always the best solution. In a classroom setting, students need different instructional strategies and modifications to be successful. It is a reality that must be acknowledged and addressed.

Fair seems to be pretty straight forward as well; however, it can be tricky as it is based on circumstances. At a restaurant, one can usually get a free dessert on his/her birthday, if I am there and it is not my birthday I cannot get the dessert for free. This would meet the definition of fair as it is appropriate for the person getting a free dessert on his/her birthday and appropriate for me to have to pay for mine because it is a normal day for me. This is also a standard operating procedure for most restaurants so it is not like it would come as a surprise. Its fairness lies in the fact that it holds true only for this circumstance and is open to all who have birthdays under the same set of circumstances, It is also an example of equity as the free birthday dessert treats a person appropriately based on his/her circumstances but not showing bias towards that person [favorable or unfavorable] either.

This is not easy. Because when we treat students [people] appropriately based on their circumstances, we treat them differently. When students [parents] see that occurring and someone is getting more than they are, the "that's not fair" statements resonate. I think zero-tolerance policies of the 90s became the rage because many in the field of education were beaten down by the "that's not fair" people and just said fine everyone is getting treated the same. Though it was fair, it wasn't equal.

Equity can only occur in schools and in society if we are okay with people getting what they need, even if it seems better or more than what someone else gets. Having an altruistic character about us is essential for equity to be successful and sadly, this is not common unless it is during the holidays or a disaster.

The good news is we can change that, by being happy for people when they get what they need to be successful. It will also make all of us more successful in the long run.

15.Como é que as diferentes áreas temáticas abordam a equidade e a igualdade?

# data[].attributes.body
Partindo da definição e de alguns exemplos já mencionados, torna-se cada vez mais evidente que a equidade e a igualdade não são iguais. No entanto, a igualdade depende efetivamente da equidade, uma vez que para fazer algo igual para todos, é necessário num primeiro momento “nivelar o campo de jogo”.

1. Exemplos na área da Saúde

Segundo o Centro de Controlo de Doenças (CDC), a equidade sanitária significaria que cada pessoa independentemente da sua posição social, teria o que fosse necessário para “atingir todo o seu potencial sanitário".

Contudo, assim como podemos verificar nos dias de hoje as pessoas de diferentes grupos socioeconómicos e raças são desproporcionadamente afetadas pelas doenças.

Por exemplo, enquanto as pessoas com doenças crónicas que habitam em países pobres têm uma grande probabilidade de morrer com estas, principalmente as mulheres. A probabilidade de as pessoas que habitam em países ricos morrerem devido a uma destas doenças é mais baixa, uma vez que a taxa de sobrevivência é superior,

Desta forma, a desigualdade crescente entre ricos e pobres quando se trata de saúde é um caso claro da importância da igualdade e equidade. Elas podem fazer a diferença entre vida e morte.

2. Exemplos na política pública

Na área do trabalho público é habitual a necessidade de reduzir recursos, assim como o horário de funcionamento dos seus serviços (centros recreativos, bibliotecas, etc.…). Assim, num caso em que o governo local necessite de o fazer, pode seguir o termo de igualdade e reduzir o horário dos espaços em todo a localidade. Contudo, é provável que os bairros mais pobres utilizem os espaços sociais com mais frequência.

Desta forma, uma abordagem equitativa passaria por verificar em que lugares estes espaços públicos são mais frequentados podendo assim reduzir o horário nos locais menos utilizados em vez de o favor de forma igualada.

3. Exemplos na Religião

A igualdade religiosa passa pelo fundamento que as pessoas não podem ser discriminadas pelas suas crenças, um lugar onde isto pode ser analisado é no local de trabalho, caso o empregado não queira realizar alguma atividade por uma observância religiosa, o seu empregador não pode negar lhe esse direito.

4. Exemplos em Educação

No que diz respeito à educação é importante compreender a diferença entre equidade e igualdade. A igualdade passa pela base em que todos os estudantes têm a mesma experiência, enquanto a equidade vai mais longe de forma a eliminar a discriminação entre diferentes grupos.

It's easy to think that equality and equity mean the same thing. However, there are crucial differences between equity and equality. These are important to understand, especially when it comes to education. That's why we are going to dive deeply into equity vs equality and see how fairness, success, and society are affected by these notions.

Defining Equality

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, equality is the "quality or state of being equal," where equal is defined as having the same measurement in quality, nature or status.

When applying this definition to social structures - like education, politics, and government - equality means that all segments of society have the same level of support and opportunity. This means that regardless of one's gender, race, sex, religion, etc., opportunities remain the same. It ensures that people in different social statuses or groups will not be discriminated against.

In the United States, equality in education was ensured in the 1954 Supreme Case of Brown vs. Board of Education, where the Court ruled that "separate is inherently unequal" with regards to having segregated schools between African American and white students. After this ruling, schools became integrated, and it led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Defining Equity

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines equity as, "something that is equitable," where equitable is defined as, "dealing fairly and equally with all concerned."

In education and social structures, equity refers to the fact that different people have varying needs of support and assistance. Therefore, systems exist to be able to support individuals based on their specific needs.

The goal of equity is to help achieve fairness in treatment and outcomes. It's a way in which equality is achieved.

For example, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was written so that people with disabilities are ensured equal access to public places. For example, it means that public restrooms need to have ramps so that people in wheelchairs can enter.

Understanding the Difference Between Fairness and Success

Without taking into consideration the different circumstances from which someone enters a situation, it's hard to actually achieve equality. That's because every individual is inherently different. So, when it comes to fairness and setting up children for success, varying needs need to be taken into consideration.

Equity is the idea of "leveling the playing field" so that fairness happens along the path to success. Equality treats everyone the same without paying attention to the natural differences between people in different races, sexes, social classes, and more.

If we take this into account when it comes to education, it becomes easier to understand.

Think about it this way - everyone learns differently. Some students do better with auditory learning, while others prefer visual learning and have to see things to understand them. If a teacher only teaches with one style, it will favor those students who prefer this method. While it's equal because everyone gets the same treatment, it's not equitable because some students may have performed better given a different teaching style.

Equitable Practices

It's understandable why equity is hard to achieve. Our systems are designed to favor the majority, but this means that some individuals slip through the cracks.

So how can we change systems to be equitable? It would be hard to service every individual need, especially in higher education, where classrooms are often filled with hundreds of students from different backgrounds.

One way to approach the situation is to practice "differentiated instruction." This requires that teachers and leaders pay close attention to those who don't fit the average mold so that they can work towards serving their needs, too.

Equity and Equality Are Not Equal

From these definitions and examples, it becomes more clear that equity and equality are not equal. However, equality actually depends on equity. To be able to make something the same for everyone, it first requires "leveling the playing field."

1. Examples in Health

Health equity, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), would mean that every person, regardless of their social position, has what they need to "attain his or her full health potential."

However, people in different socioeconomic groups and races are disproportionately affected by diseases.

For example, those in poverty have a higher chance of developing a chronic disease. When those facing chronic illnesses are in wealthy countries, they can survive it. But, in a poor country, those with chronic diseases are more likely to die from it. This is even more true for women.

The widening inequality between the rich and the poor when it comes to health is a clear case of why equality and equity are important. They can make the difference between life and death.

2. Examples in Public Policy

Public policy may call for the need to cut back on resources, like the operating hours of recreation centers and libraries.

In one case, if the local government approaches the change equally, they could cut all the hours across the board by the same amount. Yet, there's a likely chance that less wealthy neighborhoods use these social spaces more frequently than rich neighborhoods that can afford access to private gyms, for example.

An equitable approach would be to check which neighborhoods frequent these public locations more often. Then the government could cut the hours in the locations that are less used instead of cutting them all equally.

3. Examples in Religion

Religious equality means that people cannot be discriminated against for their belief systems. One place where this can be seen is in the workplace. If someone wants to take off work for a religious observance, their employer is legally not allowed to deny them that right.

4. Examples in Education

Equity vs equality in education is important to understand. Equality means every student has the same experience. Equity goes further to remove the discrimination of different group.

In fact, 97% of teachers realize the necessity of equity in the classroom, but it's not always so easy to know how to achieve it. As briefly mentioned above, equity would mean that resources are allocated based on individual needs. Equality would instead give everyone the same resources.

Some tips to achieve equity in education include:

Understanding a student's individual challenges and offering tailored support

Fostering an environment where students feel comfortable to speak up and express their needs

Openly communicate with the parents and guardians of students

Offering equity training

Adding exercises that promote inclusion and diversity in activities so everyone feels like they belong

Technology in Education

There's no one right answer to achieving equity and ensuring equality in education.

However, access to technology is offering a method to help close the gaps in accessibility. While there are obvious challenges when it comes to technology in the first place - like the fact that everyone needs to have hardware to access the internet and the like - it's still moving the needle toward equity.

Some benefits of technology in a learning environment have led to:

Students having the ability to access educational materials when outside of the classroom

Students and teachers having the means to create more creative methods to teach/learn and tailor these methods to an individual's preference

The use of data is providing more insights to policy makers and teachers to know what is and isn't working

Why Equity vs Equality Matters

Equality and equity matter greatly in education. This is because education serves as a basis for how society progresses. On an individual level, better education leads to better health and ultimately to individuals that are more involved in society.

How University of the People is Closing the Gap

The University of the People was established to help achieve a democratic reality for higher education.

In many instances, the individual needs of students have been overlooked on traditional university campuses.

For example, students in disadvantaged countries where the physical resources simply don't exist for college campuses would mean that these students could not attend college. Or, for the students who are focused on raising a family and can't attend classes in-person, they'd have to sacrifice education for their family.

The good news is, University of the People is a 100% online and tuition-free institution that provides equal and equitable educational opportunities for students around the world.

Students from over 200 countries and territories are involved in earning their degrees across four subjects at UoPeople, namely: Computer Science, Health Science, Business Administration, and Education.

UoPeople is committed to providing high-quality education at a fraction of the cost of traditional universities, thanks to the help of donations and volunteers who dedicate themselves to delivering education to all.

The Bottom Line

Equity vs. equality in education is understandable in theory, but in practice, can be complex to achieve. However, with the help of technology and societies that constantly progress, it is an achievable goal.

As an educator, it's important to remember the needs and backgrounds of every student you come into contact with. As a student, it's worth remembering that you can speak up for what you need and be heard.

Together, we can achieve equality and equity in education!

# data[].attributes.body
A empatia é a capacidade de nos colocarmos no lugar de outra pessoa, sendo esta fundamental para fomentar as relações e melhorar a comunicação entre os indivíduos.

Esta passa também pela capacidade de reconhecer as necessidades e o bem-estar emocional dos outros, elementos-chave no que diz respeito à equidade. A empatia passa também por estar em sintonia com as perspetivas das outras pessoas, conseguir ouvir sobre o que estas estão a passar antes de se tirar conclusões precipitadas e sem quaisquer fundamentos, ou até mesmo ajudar outros a resolver os seus problemas, algo fundamental para a existência de bom ambiente e a criação de boas relações. Assim sendo, podemos dizer que a empatia apresenta um papel fundamental no que diz respeito à equidade, uma vez que a realização deste termo passa pela compreensão e pela atenção dada às pessoas que nos rodeiam e também pelo princípio de ouvir os seus problemas e tentar ajudar estes a enfrentá-los.

Empathy is what I feel AS you - it's the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes. It helps foster stronger relationships and improves communication in teams.

👉🏽 Empathy is key in cultivating psychological safety in teams,

👉🏽 it is the ability to recognize others' needs and emotional well-being,

👉🏽 and it helps teams communicate better and be more creative.

Being in tune with other people's perspectives, listening to what they are going through without jumping to conclusions, or trying to solve their problems is mission-critical for good relationships at work. Practicing empathy is key in creating psychologically safe workplaces for everyone and essential to de-escalating difficult conversations.

To persuade you to believe in the power of empathy, here are some compelling stats:

A Catalyst study of over 889 employees found that:

● When their employer was empathic, innovation increased by 61%.

● 50% of people with empathic leaders reported their workplace was more inclusive, compared with only 17% of those with less empathic leadership.

● 57% of white women and 62% of women of colour said they were unlikely to leave their employer if their family circumstances were respected.

Empathy cultivates trust and understanding and promotes mental health.
Now that you are convinced of the power of empathy in the workplace, let's talk about how it matters when promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within teams.

This means that your EDI initiative must be delivered with empathy!

Empathy is a skill required to create psychological safety in teams. It is especially needed to support an organization's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion strategy.

We don't all come to the workplace with the same set of skills to manage conflict or difficult conversations.

We can all practice and nurture the ability to look at the world through someone else's lens individually and collectively. Empathy is especially important to practice when managing conflict and having hard conversations about equity, diversity, and inclusion in teams or within organizations.

We can better understand the challenges of marginalized individuals when we see the world through their eyes. Only then are we truly prepared to have constructive and safe dialogues to address EDI at work.

Empathy plays a role in an organization's EDI efforts by creating a culture of trust and understanding within teams. It provides a strong and safe foundation for these challenging conversations.

Culture of empathy as it relates to EDI:

When we practice empathy, we are more likely to have our struggles shared and understood by others. We can see issues from someone else's perspective and we are ready to approach situations in a thoughtful, appreciative manner. This is the foundation for EDI work and creating a meaningful impact within the workplace.

Empathy fuels positive change.

We all have the ability to influence or de-escalate challenging conversations.

So how can we practice empathy in conversations to help us manage these situations?

● Ask questions that foster understanding.

● Follow up with statements that show you are actively listening.

● Challenge your biases - biases harm our ability to empathize with others.

Knowing how and when to practice empathy is a strategy that helps us regulate our emotions, and is key to addressing challenging conversations in the workplace.

"Empathy is when your brain gives a hug to the experience of someone else." Lana Bentley

"When you are hugging someone it's not possible to be hurtful or not inclusive. You are inviting someone in and leaning into their feelings and perspective" Lana Bentley, Mindfulicity's Director of Program Strategy

None of us have to look very far to see examples of incivility in the workplace or within our communities. That is why it's important to remember that empathy begins with us.

It is especially difficult to practice empathy when strong emotions are present or in times of high stress. The key is to press pause, take a breath and ground yourself in the present moment.

Give space for your own mental health and wellness. When our tanks are running on empty it can be hard to empathize with others. It starts from the inside out.

Our aim is to share insightful and helpful content for our community. Nothing motivates our team more than creating spaces for open conversations about psychological safety, workplace wellbeing, and shifting corporate culture.

# data[].attributes.body
De modo que seja possível experimentar equidade é necessário num primeiro passo ter a noção que esta ação assim como o tratamento por iniquidade são geralmente subjetivos e únicos consoante a experiência de cada individuo.

Desta forma, e utilizando como referência um local de trabalho podemos experimentar equidade através da transparência acerca de assuntos como a variação do salário entre as diferentes posições, assim como a providenciação de canais onde os variados empregados possam aceder a todos os materiais necessários.

Providenciar acesso equitativo a todos é algo necessário, não só em relação ao acesso a recursos e às oportunidades disponíveis, mas também a espaços e materiais físicos, sendo importante verificar se o espaço é amigo de cadeira de roda e também se o espaço tem acomodações adequadas para todo o tipo de pessoas.

É essencial também assegurar benefícios equitativos, isto passa por certificar nos que benefícios como a licença parental e o seguro de saúde estende-se igualmente a todo o tipo de famílias e género assim como a famílias não tradicionais.

Assim de modo a experimentar equidade é essencial reavaliar as práticas do mesmo. Todos cometem erros e cada vez mais é notório que a sociedade toma medidas contra um status quo problemático, tornando se assim difícil saber o que está certo. As organizações devem assim continuar e analisar as suas práticas de equidade à medida que novas informações são dadas.

Contrariamente ao que diz respeito a equidade, inequidade passa por ignorar todos os problemas que podem surgir desde a existência de pessoas com necessidades especiais e os espaços e cuidados que estes necessitam, a inexistência de benefícios equitativos na maioria da atualidade e também, a ignorância de assuntos que sempre foram realçados e falados na nossa sociedade, assim como a discrepância de salários e a desigualdade de género.

Organizations committed to positive change in today's working culture are taking action-oriented steps toward better diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Diversity in the workplace is already a familiar concept to forward-thinking companies. But in recent years, increased awareness around social exclusions faced by people from marginalized backgrounds has prompted the term "equity" to be at the forefront of conversations around diversity and inclusion.

As business leaders continue to strategize how to foster a culture of belonging among their employees, it's important that they add the idea of workplace equity to their leadership toolkit.

In this article, we'll discuss the meaning of equity, why it's important and how you can build an equitable working environment for your employees.

What is equity in the workplace?

Workplace equity is the concept of providing fair opportunities for all of your employees based on their individual needs. Before we dive into the details of what this looks like in practice, let's run through a couple of important definitions.

Equity vs equality in the workplace

Although equity and equality sound similar, they are not synonymous. To properly plan for a more equitable workplace, it's important to have a strong understanding of how these terms differ.

Equality seeks to provide all employees with access to the same resources, regardless of the pre-existing barriers they may face. This can refer to an equal distribution of money, resources or opportunity between workers at a similar level.

Equality is in many ways a beneficial concept that can push company culture in the right direction. However, it often fails to address problems of underrepresentation or an unfair status quo.

Equity is distinct from equality in that it doesn't provide the same resources and opportunities to everyone. With equity, an organization will recognize that each employee has varying access to resources and privileges. And those with less access may need more support in order to take fair advantage of opportunities within a given company.

How do you show equity in the workplace?

Equity can be complicated to demonstrate in the workplace. This is because what constitutes fair and equitable treatment is often subjective and unique to the experiences of every individual employee.

However, an organization can show equity in the workplace by first recognizing this reality. Fostering an equitable workplace begins with cultivating a safe environment that allows for open discussion and understanding. We'll talk more about specific steps to take towards equity in the next section.

How to implement equity in the workplace

Equity in the workplace is about "leveling the playing field," and giving every employee the unique resources they need to have access to opportunities at a given organization. Here are a few ways you can implement a practice of equity within your company.

Prioritize wage equity
Discussion of wages has been made taboo in the past, however, this allows bias in the form of wage disparities to slip through the cracks. Having transparency around wages and openly discussing correlations between employee performance, position and rate of pay are essential to ensuring fair compensation.

Ensure diverse cross-level representation
Many organizations hire for diversity but fail to provide equitable opportunities for advancement to their diverse hires. When this happens, what we see is high diversity in low-paying and low-authority jobs, and over (or exclusive) representation of one demographic in leadership and management. Your company should empower diverse employees by giving equitable promotions and upholding diverse representation in executive positions.

Implement a workforce education program
Systemic barriers prevent especially Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), as well as disabled individuals from accessing education. This lack of access creates an enormous diversity deficit in many workplaces. By investing in a workforce education program, you're providing your marginalized employees with a potentially life-changing resource that enables them to advance their careers and grow with your company. Fair education is the key to an equitable future in the workplace.

Examples of equity in the workplace

Here are seven examples of how you can enable an equitable working environment.

Make job descriptions accessible
This means having transparency around the wage range for different positions, as well as providing a variety of avenues through which talent may access application materials (including non-web-based channels).

Skills-based hiring
Not everyone has access to higher education and this shouldn't barr them from opportunities for work if they have the skills necessary to do the job. Instead of focusing on specific degree requirements in your hiring process, emphasize skills and previous work experience. If you have an existing workforce education program in place, your business has the unique opportunity to provide employees without a degree with the tools and support they need to earn one.

Provide inclusive incentives
Event-based incentives which center around alcohol or formal dress codes have the potential to alienate some employees. Financial or recognition-based incentives are a better way to reward top-performing team members and avoid exclusion.

Provide equitable access for all employees
This not only means access to resources and opportunities, but also physical spaces and materials. It is important to consider whether your meeting room is wheelchair-friendly, whether you have accurate closed captions on a video presentation, and if your office space has adequate accommodations for employees with sensory sensitivities.

Empower your employees. Even if you have all the best resources in place, it's up to your employees to take advantage of them. For you, this means making sure your employees know about the resources, know how to access them and feel comfortable and safe doing so.

Ensure equitable benefits. Spousal health insurance should be available to same-sex couples and non-traditional families as well as straight couples. Additionally, parental leave should extend to fathers and mothers equally.

Re-evaluate your equity practices. Everyone makes mistakes and as we continue to take action against a problematic status quo it can be difficult to know what's right. Organizations should continue to analyze and update their equity practices as new information is given.

Measuring equity in the workplace

There's no surefire method for accurately measuring equity in the workplace, which makes it challenging to know the impact of your efforts. A common tactic for understanding the state of equity in your organization is through employee satisfaction surveys or net promoter scores (NPS).

Here's an example of some survey questions you can include that specifically speak to equity:

Do you believe you are treated fairly at work?

Do you believe that your organization's promotion practices are fair?

Do you believe that your compensation and benefits package is fair for your skills, level of experience and job responsibilities?

Additionally, it's important to collaborate closely with your people management team and train them on how to have open conversations about DEI with their direct reports. Managers are in a unique position to build trust with their teams and solicit honest feedback.

The path forward for equity at work

Equity, the practice of meeting the unique needs of individual employees, is a vital concept for today's workforce. Implementing equitable actions in your organization has the potential to change the lives of your employees and affect positive change in the wider world.

On September 25th, 2015, a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all were released by the United Nations. The 17 goals provide a series of concrete ideas and challenges to "end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all". At the heart of all of the goals and explicit in some are the concepts of equity and equality. In a world with a rapidly expanding population, finite resources, and vast disparities, how do we work towards greater equity/equality so that all can survive and thrive? Equity and Equality are fertile Big Ideas because they have to be looked at through multiple lenses and across academic disciplines to be fully understood. These Big Ideas also are perfect for developing important challenges at a local or global level.

To help you get started, we have created a sample challenge along with a set of learning objectives, Guiding Questions, Activities, and Resources. Remember that challenges need to be meaningful to the learners and their community and need to be designed to allow for solutions that are actionable. The challenges and the resulting solutions will be different based on the age and context of the learners. Finally, remember that the goal of a Challenge is both process and product - work with your learners to identify the goals and objectives to be addressed during the Challenge experience.

A nossa ideia inicial baseia-se em criar alternativas sustentáveis de modo a tornar o turismo acessível às pessoas com baixo poder aquisitivo. Assim, surgiu o “Turismo para todos” baseado no ODS nr 10 “Reduzir a desigualdade dentro e entre os países”. O nosso estudo vai estar restringido à região de Aveiro.
