It also touches on homelessness and the increased risk of being a victim of human trafficking. More details about the film and the workshops are listed on the registration website.
Equity = the quality of being fair and impartial
Equality: What’s the Difference? Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. … Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.
