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.
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 jure refers to something being based on law or formal authority, while de facto refers to something being based on actual practice or reality. In some situations, there can be a misalignment between de jure and de facto, where something is legally mandated (de jure) but not followed in practice (de facto).
In reality
De facto means in fact, and de jure means in law. De Jure slavery would refer to legalised slavery. De facto slavery would not be in a legal sense, but would be the situation nonetheless.
jure power = legislation ;facto power=justice
If something is de facto it means it is a reality, a fact of life, even if not approved in law (de jure).eg: Kosovo exists as a de facto country because, de jure, it is still part of Serbia.eg de jure one cannot park one's car on the pavement but de facto everyone does.
