EquityThe principle of equality has to be reinforced and extended by the practice of
equity. On the basis of the discussion so far three broad principles about the nature of social justice:
• Equality: every human being has an absolute and equal right to common dignity and parity of esteem and entitlement to access the benefits of society on equal terms.
• Equity: every human being has a right to benefit from the outcomes of society on the basis of fairness and according to need.
• Social justice: justice requires deliberate and specific intervention to secure equality and equity.
