Systemic Inequality and Allyship
Move beyond 'treating everyone the same' to understand that structural advantages and disadvantages exist regardless of individual effort or intention; explore concrete examples of systemic inequality (educational attainment gaps, gender pay gap, representation in leadership); distinguish between individual prejudice and structural discrimination; understand intersectionality — how multiple aspects of identity interact; develop informed compassion rooted in evidence rather than pity; explore what being a genuine ally means in practice

Assessment prompt
Can Systemic Inequality and Allyship explain the difference between treating everyone 'the same' and actually making things fair — and give a real example of a structural barrier that means two people starting in different positions face unequal opportunities even if they try equally hard?
