equal treatment
No special exceptions
Equal treatment is handling people or things the same way, without favoritism or discrimination.
The concept appears in legal and ethical contexts: The law requires equal treatment regardless of race or gender.
Equal treatment doesn't always mean identical treatment—accommodating differences can be necessary to achieve genuine equality of outcome.
