 Introduction of Discrimination

Discrimination means treating some people differently from

others.

It isn't always unlawful - after all, people are paid different

wages depending on their status and skills.

However, there are certain reasons for which your employer

can't discriminate against you by law.
Racial Discrimination!
 What is Race Discrimination..???

 Racial (race) discrimination is when a person is

treated less favourably than another person in a
similar situation because of their race, colour,
descent, national or ethnic origin or immigrant
status.

 For example:- It would be discrimination if a real

estate agent refuses to rent a house to a person because
they are of a particular racial background or skin colour.
 What Is Direct Discrimination?

 Direct discrimination is when you're treated

differently and worse than someone else for certain
reasons.
 The Equality Act says you've been treated less
favorably . Direct discrimination can be because
of: age , skin colour…
 What Is Indirect Discrimination?

 Indirect discrimination is when there's a

practice, policy or rule which applies to everyone in
the same way, but it has a worse effect on some
people than others.
 The Equality Act says it puts you at a particular
disadvantage.

 Case Study for Gender Discrimination!

• In 1972, as a part of a study on gender discrimination, 48

male bank supervisors were each given the same personnel
file and asked to judge whether the person should be
promoted to a branch manager job that was described as
'routine".
• The files were identical except that hall of supervisors had
files showing the person was male while the other half had
files showing the person was female.
• It was randomly determined which supervisors got-male
applications and which got 'female' application
• of the 48 files reviewed. 35 were promoted
• The study is testing whether females we unfairly
Discriminated against.

“For Rent”
It is illegal to deny someone an apartment because
of their religion — or for any other prohibited
ground.
