De facto means: In fact (in Latin) it describes a practice which has no legal or official status.

De facto equality therefore means public equality - equality that is not legal.

e.g: Civil Rights act in the 60s meant there was equality for black people. But there was no de facto equality. So white people still (or at first) didn't treat black people as equals.

De facto equality?

de facto means 'concerning fact' or 'in reality'. So de jure (concerning law) equality would mean equality in law (but not necessarily in fact) and de facto equality would mean equality in practice. A good real life example is race relations in the US. The 1965 Civil Rights Act ended de jure discrimination and inequality in America, but de facto discrimination and inequality persisted.
