## What this means (mechanical reading aid, not legal advice)

- The index files it under the chapter heading “Chapter II: – Social”.
- The passage runs to about 1,099 words.
- Read plainly, it mentions equality and non-discrimination — it requires equal treatment or forbids discrimination (the words used: “equality”).
- **Caveat:** The index holds no article number for this record. Cite the passage itself rather than a section number.

> This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
