What are the Core Values of Community Action?
1. Social Equity
2. Gender Equality
3. Human Rights
4. Participatory Development
Define Equity
- It is the quality of being fair and impartial
- Equity in schooling as ensuring that differences in educational outcomes are
not the result of differences in wealth, income, power or possessions. Equity
in this sense does not mean that all students are the same or will achieve
the same outcomes. Rather, it means that all students must have access to
an acceptable international standard of education, regardless of where they
live or the school they attend.
Define Equality
- The state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.
Example of Equality
Equality is defined as the condition of being equal, or the same in quality,
measure, esteem or value. When men and women are both viewed as being
just as smart and capable as each other, this is an example of equality of the
sexes.
Define Gender
Gender is defined as the socially constructed roles and behaviors that a
society typically associates with males and females.
An example of gender is referring to someone who wears a dress as a female.

- According to UNICEF, gender equality "means that women and men, and
girls and boys, enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and
protections. It does not require that girls and boys, or women and men, be
the same, or that they be treated exactly alike.
Define Rights
- A moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain
way.
- Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement; that
is, rights are the fundamental normative rules about what is allowed of
people or owed to people according to some legal system, social
convention, or ethical theory.
