Summary

This quote suggests that while equality is seen as a fundamental right, it cannot be guaranteed and achieved simply through legislation or the existence of laws. The quote implies that true equality goes beyond legal or political measures and requires a transformative shift in societal attitudes, norms, and systems. Despite the recognition of equality as an ideal, it remains a complex and elusive concept that cannot be fully realized without concerted efforts from individuals and communities to address overarching power structures and deeply ingrained prejudices.
