Diversity as a concept has evolved to encompass all forms of difference, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability, and socioeconomic status. The guiding principles of social equity, social justice, and anti-oppression are used to ensure that all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully regardless of these differences.
