The topic of equality has many dimensions: It encompasses gender equality and the equal treatment of social minorities. Equality strives for equal educational opportunities for all and the elimination of social inequalities within and between countries. The aspect of equality is also anchored in several places in the 2030 Agenda, for example in SDG 4, SDG 5 and SDG 10.

A lot has already been achieved in terms of equality, but there is still a lot to be done in many places. The Alumniportal Deutschland has a special focus on the topic: alumni report on how they are campaigning for more equality in different ways. There are also comics, cultural tips and other articles on the various aspects of equal rights.
