What Equity are you talking about?
Creating equity in society means to create an even playing field for all people. So the reason why we have parking spaces for pregnant women and folks with mobility concerns is to make it fair for them when they go to grocery stores as able bodied people can walk from a further distance. Similarly we have access ramps so people in wheelchairs can also go to libraries and post offices with steps at their entrance, because everyone likes to get mail and books.
Now on some campuses they have escort and taxi programs so women can make it from one end of a campus to another without getting sexually assaulted (though this is more of a band aid solution than creating equity - the equitable thing to do would be to teach men not to rape women, but in a society where Ted Nugent gets to live out his pedophiliac fantasies with teen girls, Ted Nugent the anachronistic big white game hunter I might add, well that society is far away from letting women live in peace instead of having to be paranoid at night while waiting at the bus stop).
Now with regards to mental health we know we need to change our attitudes and should stop making references to "loons" and "crazy" people, just like we shouldn't be saying, "that's so gay," all the time but then again it's a society that is still biased, prejudiced, and steeped in stereotypes, blames victims and is unwilling to recognize privilege at work. I know from early work in leading anti-racism workshops that white people are not ready to surrender their privilege, and rich people are even less likely to give up profits in the form of taxes to redevelop underprivileged neighborhoods.
Racism is really tricky. Creating equity there requires a much more complicated set of changes to the cultural fabric of every service provider, the general populous and housing planning. It's a real long term event. That's why we used to describe racial harmony as "The Great Project," for the fantasy of an equitable, inclusive, happy anti-racist society would speak to many parallel issues such as gender and class. But as Wade pointed out, our society is a divided one, men/women, white/non-white, settlers/Indiginous, straight/gay, rich/poor, young/old...we are a polarized people led by rich white capitalist patriarchal pricks who don't want to give up a dime to help the masses.
Sure there are many examples of charities, philanthropy, and men of industry who create jobs, but by and large the wealthy folk are stuck in their ways. They do not want to give up their gated communities and would prefer to have people stand their ground on their behalf, maybe shoot black youth coming home from the corner store, or fire at the fleeing suspect. These are choices we make. However it wasn't too long ago that a man could legally rape his wife if he wanted, or that black people couldn't vote, or that you would be incarcerated for being gay. So society can change, and we do get better all the time, for the most part; it just takes a really long time.
But what stands on the other side of the divide is a society that celebrates diversity, that mixes rich and poor, where kids of all abilities go to the same class and where all the many genders and sexualities get their groove on together and live in total harmony. With the healing of an oppressive, misogynist, genocidal society behind then, nothing but blue skies ahead for us all. Countries who minimize the gap between rich and poor are healthier, better educated, have less cime and are more productive. That's what equity is all about.
