“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his
background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate,
they can be taught to love, for love comes naturally to the human hear than its
opposite”.
- Nelson Mandela

 Based on the quote of Nelson Mandela, why do you think people tends to hate
others because of their skin color, race or religion?
 Have you ever experienced being discriminated?
Discrimination- means treating a person unfairly because of who they are or because they
possess certain characteristics. If you have been treated differently from other people only
because of who you are or because you possess certain characteristics, you may have been
discriminated against.

The Equality Act 2010 highlights 9 protected characteristics:

1. Age
2. Gender
3. Race
4. Disability
5. Religion
6. Pregnancy and maternity
7. Sexual orientation
8. Gender reassignment
9. Marriage and civil partnership

Types of Discrimination
Discrimination can occur in the following forms:
Direct Discrimination
Under similar circumstances, when a person with a protected characteristic is treated less favorably
than others, it is direct discrimination. For example – you have the qualifications and experience
necessary for the job but your application is turned down because you are ‘too young’ or ‘too old’.

Indirect Discrimination
If there is a rule or policy in the workplace that puts you at a disadvantage as compared to others,
it may be considered indirect discrimination. For example – an organization includes a clause that
forces all employees to work on Sunday. This puts Christians at a particular disadvantage as it is
common knowledge that Sunday is a day of worship for Christians.
Discrimination by Association
If you are treated unfairly because someone you know or are associated with has a protected
characteristic, this may be construed as discrimination by association. For example – you are
refused service in a restaurant because you are with someone who belongs to a particular race.

Discrimination by Perception
Receiving unfair treatment because someone thinks you belong to a group with protected
characteristics, you may be experiencing discrimination by perception. For example – you are
heterosexual but an estate agency refuses to lease out a flat to you because they assume you are gay
due to their misconceptions about how gay people look, dress or behave.
 Harassment
Harassment comprises of unwanted behavior that makes another person feel offended, humiliated
or intimidated. Unwanted behavior could include physical gestures, abuse, jokes, spoken or written
words or offensive emails and expressions. For example – male gym members passing sexual
comments or telling unwelcome jokes within earshot of a female gym member could constitute
harassment.

Victimization
When a person is treated badly or subjected to detriment because they complained about
discrimination or supported another victim of discrimination, this may be considered victimization.
For example – you are denied training or advancement avenues at work because you filed a sexual
harassment complaint against your boss.

E. Valuing
