Equity feels like a buzzword at the moment, most recently it was the theme of International Women’s Day, but what does it really mean? I unpack the concept of racial equity in my book Equality vs Equity. My definition of equity is:

“Understanding and giving those from [underrepresented groups] what they need to achieve equal outcomes. This is achieved by considering systems that disadvantage and seeking to overcome them. To do so we need to take an individual approach, to lead, share power and focus on outcomes.”
