What is Inclusion?
Inclusion is the practice of ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their differences, are valued, respected, and have equal opportunities to participate in all aspects of society. It goes beyond mere tolerance and actively seeks to create environments where everyone feels welcome and supported.
Historical Background
The concept of inclusion has evolved over time, driven by social movements advocating for the rights of marginalized groups, including persons with disabilities, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals. It is now recognized as a fundamental principle of social justice and equality.
