Inequality does not just refer to that between men and women. Inequality also refers to economic inequality, inequality in access to health and education services, inequality in access to information, inequalities based on race, age, disability, sexual orientation, class, ethnicity, and religion. Inequality is demonstrated as the world’s most vulnerable populations are currently those hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
To reduce inequalities, policies should be universal in principle, paying attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations.

Inequality is a multi-faceted hurdle that needs to be overcome to ensure a life of dignity for all.
