The concept of inequity refers in our language the absence of equity, which is the same as saying the existence of inequality in some aspect or level, social, gender, among the most common.
It is then opposed to the concept of equity that implies the equality that reigns in a context. When there is equity there will be justice. Therefore, inequality is considered a factor of injustice.
Unfortunately throughout the world, in some nations to a greater extent and in others to a lesser extent, there is inequity. Furthermore, we could say that inequality is an issue that has accompanied civilization since ancient times. Although there have also always been people and movements whose main mission was to combat this disastrous and counterproductive scenario for the proper development of people at all levels, it is worth noting that it has not been possible to definitively banish it despite the efforts.
Now, as we mentioned above, it is on the social level where we most frequently find situations of inequity.
The social classes or social sectors that have more resources can easily access the products and services produced in the community to which they belong and can also satisfy their basic needs. Meanwhile, there are also sectors of that society that do not have sufficient resources and as a consequence are left in a completely backward position with respect to the previous ones.
This unequal access to resources generates inequity not only in the fact that the lower classes of a society will not be able to acquire the same goods as those belonging to higher social sectors, but also that this situation will cause them to receive unequal treatment, because Traditionally, it has happened that the lower social sectors are discriminated against and stigmatized for occupying that social place.
Thus, it will be very common that when they want to access those spaces that classically belonged to more affluent sectors, they receive unequal and even discriminatory treatment.
In terms of gender, there is also a legendary inequality against women, which although over the centuries has diminished, we cannot say that today it is exceeded by one hundred percent.
In work environments, more precisely in the performance of hierarchical positions, for example, is where the primordial role of men is still maintained to the detriment of women.
