inclusive society
All-embracing social order
An inclusive society is one that provides equal opportunity and participation for all members regardless of background, ability, or identity.
The phrase appears frequently in policy documents and mission statements: We're working toward a more inclusive society.
It implies removing barriers—physical, social, economic—that prevent full participation in civic and community life.
