EQUITY IN AN INEQUITABLE WORLD: A TALE ABOUT ETHICS, CHARITY, POLITICS, AND RIGHTS.
I often ask myself what we could all do or do better to achieve greater equity, given that we most often work in countries with appalling social inequities. I guess that you do, too.
Here is how I see things. I believe that our role in helping to put in place the needed social processes and mechanisms that will drive sustainable policies in health and nutrition, is inseparable from a will and intent to change the underlying structural inequalities.

I see the challenge for us being to graduate from the first to the second approach.
