I was at a meeting today where we discussed equality, equity and justice. I was pleased to have this illustration from Tony Ruth easily to hand. #Equity #Equality #Justice #Diversity #Inequality Search “Giving Tree” by Tony Ruth for more explanation of this picture and concept.
Cartoon illustrating the difference between equality, equity, and justice, by showing two boys trying to get fruit from a tree.

Equity gives them different sized ladders, but justice bends the tree so it’s easy for everyone to access.
