This Is What Equality Looks Like To Me – Photo Contest
CUNY ISLG’s Equality Indicators team developed a framework for measuring equality in Economy,
Education, Health, Housing, Justice, and Services. Equality, as we define it, is everyone having the same
outcomes regardless of disability, sexual orientation, gender, age, race, ethnicity, immigration status,
place of residence, and other characteristics.
Our framework is based on a data‐driven approach to measuring equality.
But we know data cannot tell the whole story.
That is why we are inviting you to share a photo that captures what equality looks like to you.
