Paper 1, Paper 2
Equal worth and dignity, with protection against unfair treatment and discrimination.
Revise: Democratic Rights, Duties, and ValuesEquality means recognising everyone's equal worth and dignity and protecting people from unfair treatment. Equality and representation matter together: people whose voices are ignored may find it harder to challenge decisions that disadvantage them. Equal rights on paper do not necessarily remove differences in wealth, influence or opportunities to participate.
