What Does Discrimination Mean?

There are two types of discrimination:

• Direct discrimination
• Indirect discrimination

Direct discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favorably than another in a comparable situation. This happens due to:

1. Race
   
2. Ethnic origin
3. Religion
4. Belief
   
5. Disability
6. Age
   
7. Gender

Indirect discrimination on the other hand when apparently there is a neutral provision but actually it would disadvantage some people on the basis of direct discrimination. For example when a company calls for test to every class of people but conducts the test in French language.

Discrimination means treating someone differently from other because of different ethnicity, age, religion. Or gender.

Treating someone less favourably becasue of their colour, ethnic origins, gender or disability
