UNDERSTANDING
 
THE
 
TRIAD
OF
 
EQUALITY
 
INCLUSION
AND
 
HUMAN
 
RIGHTS
 
Human
 
Rights,
 
as
 
the
 
name
 
suggests,
 
are
 
the
 
basic
 
rights
 
which
 
are
 
guaranteed
 
to
 
every
person
 
living
 
in
 
the
 
world
 
from
 
birth
 
till
 
death.
 
They
 
are
 
mainly
 
based
 
on
 
values
 
such
 
as
fairness,
 
dignity,
 
respect,
 
equality
 
and
 
independence.
 
They
 
also
 
stand
 
for
 
equality,
 
for
inclusive
 
societies
 
too,
 
because
 
everyone
 
in
 
this
 
world
 
can
 
claim
 
his/her
 
human
 
rights.
Equality
 
and
 
Inclusion,
 
are
 
supported
 
by
 
Human
 
Rights,
 
because
 
everyone
 
in
 
this
 
world
has
 
the
 
same
 
right
 
to
 
receive
 
care
 
irrespective
 
of
 
their
 
background
 
or
 
their
 
religious
beliefs.
 
INTRODUCTION:-
 
WHAT
 
IS
 
EQUALITY?
 
Equality
 
means
 
the
 
fair
 
treatment,
 
all
 
the
 
people
 
will
 
be
 
treated
 
fairly
 
or
 
equally,
 
no
matter
 
what
 
their
 
age,
 
race
 
or
 
sex
 
is
 
or
 
whether
 
they
 
have
 
a
 
disability
 
or
 
not.
 
It
 
ensures
that
 
every
 
individual
 
has
 
an
 
equal
 
opportunity.
 
Both
 
of
 
these
 
words,
 
equality
 
and
inclusion
 
are
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
areas
 
like
 
gender,
 
race,
 
age,
 
sex,
 
disability
 
and
 
religios
 
beliefs.
 
WHAT
 
IS
 
INCLUSION?
 
Inclusion
 
means
 
the
 
feeling
 
of
 
being
 
valued.
 
It
 
refers
 
to
 
an
 
experience
 
of
 
an
 
indicidual,
 
in
a
 
wider
 
society,
 
and
 
the
 
extent
 
to
 
which
 
they
 
realise
 
and
 
feel
 
that
 
they
 
are
 
included
 
and
valued.
 
It
 
is
 
about
 
giving
 
equal
 
opportunities
 
to
 
everyone
 
irrespective
 
of
 
their
 
religion,
race,
 
gander,
 
sexual
 
orientation
 
and
 
culture.
 
It
 
is
 
mainly
 
important
 
to
 
understand
someone’s
 
differences
 
so
 
that
 
you
 
can
 
include
 
them
 
and
 
also
 
treat
 
them
 
fairly
 
and
 
equally.

Diversity
 
and
 
Inclusion,
 
all
 
of
 
them

prejudice
 
and
 
discrimination

etc.
 
Embracing
 
the
 
various
 
diversities
 
and
 
providing
equality
 
to
 
everyone

the
 
main
 
aim.
 
We
 
all
 
need
 
to
 
promote
 
this
 
and
 
value
 
the
 
talent
 
of
everyone
 
beyond
 
these
 
stereotypes,
 
so
 
as
 
everyone
 
can
 
reach
 
their
 
potential,

EQUALITY
 
IN
 
INDIA
 
The
 
Constitution
 
of
 
India
 
contains
 
provisions
 
for
 
the
 
Right
 
To
 
Equality
 
in
 
Articles
 
14-18.
 
The
 
Preamble
 
of
 
our
Constitution
 
also
 
provides
 
for
 
the
 
right
 
to
 
equal
 
status
 
and
 
opportunity
 
to
 
the
 
citizens
 
of
 
India.
 
The

forms
 
the
 
basic
 
structure
 
of
 
the
 
Constitution
 
of
 
India.
 
It
 
is
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
six
 
Fundamental

be
 
the
one
 
best

SURPRISING
 
STATISTICS
 
OF
 
EQUALITY
 
AND
 
DIVERSITY
 
In
 
sept
 
2015,
 
there
 
were
 
31.21
 
million
 
people
 
working
 
in
 
UK.
 
In
 
USA,
 
this
 
figure
 
reaches
over
 
121
 
million
 
people.
 
In
 
relation
 
to
 
culture
 
and
 
ethnicity,
 
recent
 
statistics
 
also
 
show
 
that:-
In
 
2011,
 
Black
 
African
 
Women
 
and
 
White
 
and
 
Black
 
Caribbean
 
Men
 
were
 
most
 
likely
 
to
be
 
unemployed
 
in
 
UK.
In
 
2010,
 
a
 
report
 
suggested
 
that
 
ethnic
 
minority
 
businesses
 
contribute
 
around
 
25-32
billion
 
to
 
the
 
UK
 
economy
 
each
 
year.
Most
 
law
 
skilled
 
jobs
 
are
 
filled
 
by
 
Pakiatani,
 
Black
 
African
 
and
 
Bangaldesh
 
men.
Only
 
5.5%
 
of
 
directors
 
in
 
FTSE
 
100
 
are
 
from
 
an
 
ethnic
 
minority.
 
INCLUSION
 
AND
 
DIVERSITY
 
IN
 
INDIA
 
India
 
is
 
a
 
country
 
which
 
comprises
 
of
 
a
 
large
 
number
 
of
 
religions,
 
cultures,
 
ethnicities,
languages
 
and
 
much
 
more.
 
But
 
at
 
the
 
same
 
time,
 
India
 
is
 
a
 
secular
 
nation,
 
according
 
to
 
the
42
nd
 
amendment
 
of
 
the
 
constitution
 
of
 
india,
 
which
 
was
 
enacted
 
in
 
1976.
 
India
 
is
 
a
 
secular
state,
 
has
 
been
 
one,
 
and
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
be
 
one
 
for
 
times
 
immemorial.
 
The
 
Constitution
grants
 
equality
 
to
 
everyone,
 
equality
 
before
 
law
 
and
 
discrimination
 
is
 
prohibited
 
on
 
the
grounds
 
of
 
race,
 
religion,
 
sex,
 
etc.
 
It
 
also
 
allows
 
personal
 
laws,
 
hoever,
 
resulting
 
in
 
a
 
dual
system
 
that
 
allows
 
forms
 
of
 
discrimination.
 
IMPORTANCE
 
OF
 
EQUALITY
 
AND
 
INCLUSION
 
Equality
 
holds
 
much
 
importance
 
as
 
it
 
preserves
 
the
 
dignity
 
of
 
an
 
individual.
 
Dignity
 
means
self
 
respect
 
and
 
the
 
respect
 
that
 
an
 
individual
 
deserves
 
from
 
others
 
being
 
a
 
fellow
 
human
being.
 
It
 
is
 
an
 
essential
 
and
 
a
 
basic
 
Human
 
Right.
Inclusion
 
is
 
equally
 
important
 
as
 
diversity
 
does
 
not
 
exist
 
without
 
inclusion.
 
When
 
people
feel
 
included,
 
they
 
feel
 
a
 
sense
 
of
 
belongingness
 
that
 
drives
 
the
 
increased
 
positive
performance
 
and
 
results.
 
CONCLUSION
 
Over
 
the
 
past
 
few
 
years,
 
it
 
seems
 
that
 
the
 
whole
 
world
 
has
 
finally
 
understood
 
the
 
importance
of
 
equality,
 
diversity
 
and
 
inclusion.
 
Of
 
course,
 
there
 
are
 
some
 
people
 
who
 
are
 
still
 
afraid
 
of
the
 
changes
 
taking
 
place.
 
Human
 
Rights
 
describes
 
how
 
much
 
we
 
expecr
 
to
 
be
 
treated
 
as
persons
 
normally
 
without
 
being
 
identified
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
our
 
culture,
 
relifion
 
or
 
anything.
Human
 
Rights
 
also
 
define
 
thatall
 
the
 
people
 
in
 
this
 
world
 
are
 
entitled
 
to
 
a
 
life
 
of
 
equality,
dignity,
 
respect
 
and
 
a
 
life
 
free
 
from
 
any
 
discrimination.
 
We
 
don’t
 
need
 
to
 
earn
 
our
 
Human
Rights
 
as
 
we
 
are
 
born
 
with
 
it.
 
They
 
are
 
the

for

  2. UNDERSTANDING THE TRIAD OF EQUALITY INCLUSION AND HUMAN RIGHTS

  3. INTRODUCTION:- Human Rights, as the name suggests, are the basic rights which are guaranteed to every person living in the world from birth till death. They are mainly based on values such as fairness, dignity, respect, equality and independence. They also stand for equality, for inclusive societies too, because everyone in this world can claim his/her human rights. Equality and Inclusion, are supported by Human Rights, because everyone in this world has the same right to receive care irrespective of their background or their religious beliefs.

  4. WHAT IS EQUALITY? Equality means the fair treatment, all the people will be treated fairly or equally, no matter what their age, race or sex is or whether they have a disability or not. It ensures that every individual has an equal opportunity. Both of these words, equality and inclusion are related to the areas like gender, race, age, sex, disability and religios beliefs.

  5. WHAT IS INCLUSION? Inclusion means the feeling of being valued. It refers to an experience of an indicidual, in a wider society, and the extent to which they realise and feel that they are included and valued. It is about giving equal opportunities to everyone irrespective of their religion, race, gander, sexual orientation and culture. It is mainly important to understand someone s differences so that you can include them and also treat them fairly and equally.

  6. HOW EQUALITYAND INCLUSION ARE RELATED? Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, all of them ensure fair treatment and opportunity for all. The main aim of all the three is to eradicate prejudice and discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, gender, religion, etc. Embracing the various diversities and providing equality to everyone is the main aim. We all need to promote this and value the talent of everyone beyond these stereotypes, so as everyone can reach their potential, can perform their best, beoynd any prejudice.

  7. WHATARE THE PROTECTED CHARACTERISTICS? 1. Age. 2. Disability. 3. Gender Reassignment. 4. Marriage and Civil Partnership. 5. Pregnancy and Maternity. 6. Race. 7. Religion or belief. 8. Sexual orientation. 9. Sex. According to The EqualityAct 2010, follwing are the legal protected characteristics:-

  8. LAWS THAT SUPPORT EQUALITTYAND INCLUSION AT WORKPLACE IN UK There are a variety of discrimination acts that are there to make ensure that companies are adhering to the minimum standards, and the legislation is wide. In UK, the companies are legally bound to adhere certain practices to ensure that discrimination is eliminated and expectations of equality and inclusion are fulfilled in the workplace, such as:- Equality Act. Human RightsAct. Sex Discrimination Act. Disability Act. Race Relations Act. Workforce Race Equality. All of these laws exist to ensure that recruitment of staff is taken from the widest pools of potential always and everyone is given equal treatment and equal opportunity.

  9. LAWS THAT SUPPORT EQUALITY IN INDIA The Constitution of India contains provisions for the Right To Equality inArticles 14-18. The Preamble of our Constitution also provides for the right to equal status and opportunity to the citizens of India. The Rights To Equality forms the basic structure of the Constitution of India. It is one of the six Fundamental Rights provided to the citizens of India. This Right ensures equality before law and equal protection irrespective of religion, race , caste, etc. Article 14:- ensures equality before law. Article 15:- prohibits discrimination on specific grounds of religion , caste, etc. Article 16:- guarantees equality of opportunity in matters of public employment. Article 17:- abolishes untouchability. Article 18:- abolishes titles, other than a military or academic distinction. Thus, the Supreme Court has said that the Constitution lays down provisions for protective discrimination as alao affirmative action.

  10. WHATARE THE BEHAVIORS THAT WILLSUPPORT EQUALITY, INCLUSION AT THE WORKPLACE? Here are some of the practices that will support equality and inclusion at the workplace :- Be aware of unconscious bias. Promote pay equity. Acknowledge holidays of all cultures. Mix up your teams. Communicate the benefits of diversity. Track progress over times.

  11. BENEFITS OF EQUALITY, INCLUSION AND DIVERSITYAT WORKPLACE ? Businesses or companies can reap rewards when these three are present in the workplace:- Business will become more successful. Employees will be invested, motivated and contended. Customers will receive a diverse service. Staff retention will improve. Quality workers will be attracted. Company s reputation will be enhanced.

  12. HOW WOULD YOU BEST DESCRIBE THE MEANING OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES? Equal opportunity means that nobody is marginalised, disadvantaged or limited due to the prejudice or bias. Everyone must be treated equally. To understand this, if we apply this to the job vacancies in a company, then the person who is selected for that position will be the one best suited according to his/her qualifications, knowledge and experience and not on the basis of their religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability.

  13. AIMS OF EQUALITY, DIVERSITYAND INCLUSION To make sure that no one feels left out. To avoid discrimination. To provide equal opportunites to everyone. To respect everyone s culture. To eliminate harassment, victimisation. To ensure fair treatement. To eradicate prejudice and bias.

  14. SURPRISING STATISTICS OF EQUALITYAND DIVERSITY In sept 2015, there were 31.21 million people working in UK. In USA, this figure reaches over 121 million people. In relation to culture and ethnicity, recent statistics also show that:- In 2011, BlackAfrican Women and White and Black Caribbean Men were most likely to be unemployed in UK. In 2010, a report suggested that ethnic minority businesses contribute around 25-32 billion to the UK economy each year. Most law skilled jobs are filled by Pakiatani, BlackAfrican and Bangaldesh men. Only 5.5% of directors in FTSE 100 are from an ethnic minority.

  15. INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN INDIA India is a country which comprises of a large number of religions, cultures, ethnicities, languages and much more. But at the same time, India is a secular nation, according to the 42ndamendment of the constitution of india, which was enacted in 1976. India is a secular state, has been one, and will continue to be one for times immemorial. The Constitution grants equality to everyone, equality before law and discrimination is prohibited on the grounds of race, religion, sex, etc. It also allows personal laws, hoever, resulting in a dual system that allows forms of discrimination.

  16. IMPORTANCE OF EQUALITYAND INCLUSION Equality holds much importance as it preserves the dignity of an individual. Dignity means self respect and the respect that an individual deserves from others being a fellow human being. It is an essential and a basic Human Right. Inclusion is equally important as diversity does not exist without inclusion.
