Fairness means understanding that everyone is different and should be treated accordingly.
–Malala Yousafzai
There is a significant distinction between fairness and equality. Fairness goes beyond recognizing and addressing individual circumstances and needs. It’s like tending to a garden, where different plants require specific care to thrive.
Similarly, people have diverse needs based on their identities and situations.
To create a truly inclusive and just society, let’s strive for a world where fairness and equality work hand in hand. By embracing fairness, we can ensure that everyone has a fair chance to succeed and contribute.
In life, in work, in culture, in passions, in the way of being, it is precisely diversity that appears as a fundamental value, as an enriching factor that we have learned to recognize over time. Using a paradox: the diversity of thought, attitudes, abilities, personal characteristics, tastes and even intellectual predispositions become the most evident demonstration of being all people. They are the sign that the equality of human beings lives in the free expression of their difference.
