How can we promote equality in our society

Promoting equality ensures that every person or group are treated equally and not treated differently. They should not be differentiated on the basis of their characteristic of race, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability or belief.

Productivity – people who are treated fairly and have equal opportunity are better able to contribute socially and economically to the community, and to enhance growth and prosperity. Confidence – an equal and fair society is likely to be safer by reducing entrenched social and economic disadvantage.

Treating people with equal respect need not mean always treating them in an identical way. No society treats all its members in exactly the same way under all conditions. enjoy different status and rewards on account of it. At times these differences of treatment may appear acceptable or even necessary.

For example, relationship, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, origin, caste or class, income or property, language, religion, convictions, opinions, health or disability must absolutely not result in unequal treatment under the law and should not reduce opportunities unjustifiably.
