Definition

In the context of Ley 7 of 2018, 'Equidad' refers to the principle of fairness and impartiality, particularly in ensuring equal opportunities and conditions in the workplace. The law aims to protect the right to work in conditions of equity, meaning that individuals should be treated justly and without bias, ensuring that factors like gender, race, or other protected characteristics do not impede their access to employment, fair remuneration, or professional development. It is a foundational principle for achieving true equality.
