Equity reforms in policy: Introduction

Discussing equity issues at structural levels, particularly within policy frameworks, has always been a dangerous endeavor, frequently met with resistance and censure from established power structures. However, recent global developments, most notably in America, have escalated the risks associated with such critical dialogues, making practitioners, advocates, and scholars increasingly vulnerable to severe repercussions. This special issue includes eight articles that focus on equity policy reform within the domains of housing, healthcare, economic policy, education, racial justice, and democratic governance in order to lay the foundation for enduring transformation and meaningful structural change.
