虽然南非在提供幼儿保育和教育方面取得了重大进展，但仍有约320万儿童无法获得任何方案。在最贫穷的社区，获得服务和服务质量的问题最为突出。甚至在新冠肺炎迫使许多提供者关闭之前，这些项目就已经人满为患，基础设施薄弱，劳动力收入低、素质低。幼儿保育和教育对儿童的发展至关重要，这意味着这些不平等在学校和以后的生活中会被放大。这对照顾者，特别是妇女，以及她们获得高质量工作的能力产生了连锁反应。这篇文章认为，平等权可以根据1996年《南非共和国宪法》和国际法来解决这些差异。通过使用实质性平等的框架，我们得出结论，贫困，性别和种族是直接和间接歧视的潜在原因。我们进一步提出，当预算允许不平等的资源分配，并违反政府履行平等权的积极义务时，限制这一权利的资源理由是不可接受的。
While South Africa has seen important advances in the provision of early childhood care and education (ECCE), about 3.2 million children still lack access to any programme. Problems of access and quality are most pronounced in the poorest communities. Even before Covid-19 forced many providers to close, these programmes were overcrowded, with poor infrastructure, and an under-paid and under-qualified workforce. ECCE is crucial for a child’s development, meaning that these inequalities are amplified in school and later life. This has knock-on effects for caregivers, particularly women, and their ability to access quality work. This article argues that the right to equality can be mobilised both in relation to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 and international law to address these disparities. By using a framework of substantive equality, we conclude that poverty, gender and race are potential grounds for discrimination both directly and indirectly. We further propose that resource-based justifications for limiting this right are unacceptable when budgets permit unequal resource distribution and contravene a government’s positive duty to fulfil the right to equality.
