Equality in action.HOW TO DO IT * Keep alive the ideal of equality and the notion of the citizen, equal in worth, dignity and rights. * Find out about the tools, policies and practices that already exist, especially in the area of equal opportunities. * Build equality into the structure of any group, organization or enterprise, ideally at the outset. * Recognize that it's not always easy. Sometimes the goals of equality will clash with other values or concerns but that's no reason for giving up.
