Description

If there was a world cup of inequality, South Africa would be the leading contender. The types and the degrees of disparities suffered by the majority of the population of the country are neither right nor inevitable.

SALDRU, along with other researchers across the country, have undertaken important work over the last decades to understand the different inequities taking place in the country and their consequences, and to highlight how the markers of race, class and gender continue to condition the rights and opportunities for the majority of the population of the country.
