People & Communities

Inequality Solutions advocates for a people-centered approach to policies addressing inequality. The policies included throughout the site aim to make life more equitable and just for people and communities worldwide, by acknowledging and addressing the intersectionalities of inequalities such as income, class, race, gender, nationality, and more. Through this section of the portal, we have curated a wide range of policies based on the groups they impact.
