  • Structural inequities

     The systemic and deeply embedded social, economic, and political disadvantages that are produced and maintained through laws, policies, institutional practices, and cultural norms. These inequities result in unequal access to resources, opportunities, and outcomes for certain populations, often based on race, ethnicity, Indigeneity, gender, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and other intersecting identities.
