One article justification
"This social justice book outlines the many ways the US criminal justice system discriminates against minorities, disadvantages them and prevents everyone from having equal opportunity."
Why is no indefinite article in front of the two words: "an equal opportunity"? Or is it possible to add an indefinite article in this case?
Thanks a lot in advance.

"An equal opportunity" might be confused with one particular opportunity or one opportunity per person; "equal opportunity" is the general state of a level societal playing field.
