Health for All = Health Equity Human Right, Indigenous Right, Treaty Right Health Equity means that all people can reach their full health potential and should not be disadvantaged from attaining it because of social and economic status, social class, racism, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or other socially determined circumstance.

  8. Health Inequity • Differences in health that are: • Systematic • Avoidable • Unfair or unjust Differences are rooted in unequal social relations, such as gender inequity, racism, and social and economic exclusion. 8

  9. Advantage/Disadvantage

  10. From Equality to Equity Everyone receives the same supports. This is equality in action. Assumption: everyone will benefit from the same supports. All people can see the game without any supports or accommodations because the cause of the inequity was addressed. The systemic barrier has been removed. People are given different supports according to their needs to make it possible for them to have equal access to the game. They are being treated equitably. http://documents.ottawa.ca/sites/documents.ottawa.ca/files/documents/adv_equity_en.pdf
