Imagine a world where everyone has the same chance to succeed, no matter where they come from or who they are. That's the idea of equality. Unfortunately, we don't live in that kind of world. Sometimes, people are treated differently based on things like their skin color, gender, or how much money their family has. This is called inequality.

Types of Inequality

Income: This means that some people have a lot more money than others. For example, the head of a big company might make millions of dollars a year, while a teacher might only make a few thousand.

Race: This means that people of different races are treated differently. For example, a Black person might be more likely to be stopped by the police than a white person, even if they haven't done anything wrong.

Gender: This means that women, non-binary people and men are treated differently. For example, some people that are non binary or women queer people might be paid less than men or heterosexual for doing the same job.

Why It Matters

Inequality can have a big impact on people's lives. It can lead to poverty, crime, and other social problems. It can also make it harder for people to reach their full potential.

What We Can Do

Educate ourselves: Learn about how inequality affects people's lives.

Talk to others: Talk to our friends, family, and classmates.

Get involved: Join organizations or actions that are working to fight inequality.

Be kind: Treat everyone with respect, regardless of their race, gender, religion, or background.
