Discrimination in the workplace.
Labor discrimination laws aim to prevent discrimination based on race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, physical disability, and age by employers. Discriminatory practices include biases in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, compensation, retaliation, and various types of harassment. The main body of labor discrimination laws consists of federal and state statutes. The United States Constitution and some state constitutions provide additional protection when the employer is a government agency or when the government has taken significant steps to encourage the employer’s discriminatory practices.
Racial and ethnic discrimination
Racism affects practically every country in the world. It systematically denies people their full human rights solely because of their color, race, ethnicity, ancestry (including caste), or national origin. Unchecked racism can be a ticking time bomb that impacts the most vulnerable populations.
Closely related to fear are ignorance and lack of information about other ethnic groups and cultures. Learning, questioning, comparing information, and above all, respecting diversity are good ways to prevent racial discrimination. If you want to learn more about this topic, we invite you to consult us about important issues such as the difference between racism and xenophobia or types of racial discrimination.
Ideological discrimination
Another common cause of racial discrimination is ideology. Throughout history, there have been schools of thought based on the segregation of people and the treatment of certain groups as inferior. These are ideologies that, today, are far from being eradicated.
