Often "equality" is used to refer to legal and societal systems closer to equal treatment, and "equity" is used to refer to systems closer to equal outcomes.
Of course, the terms as defined in the dictionary are very similar, while how close the ideas they represent are when applied depends substantially on what is being considered, when, and how.
