Types of discrimination

TYPES OF DISCRIMINATION

Discrimination based on race.

Racism can be defined as a conscious or unconscious belief in the superiority of one race over other another. This definition presupposes the existence of different biologic ‘races’.

Discrimination based on ethnicity

Ethnic discrimination is unequal treatment of people based on the fact that they belong to a certain ethnic or national group. Ethnic discrimination can also involve placing a person in a different position on the basis of religion, skin color or nationality.

Gender discrimination is discrimination against a person or group on the grounds of sex or gender identity. Socially, sexual differences have been used to justify societies in which one sex or the other has been restricted to significantly inferior and secondary roles.

Discrimination based on religion

Religious discrimination is valuing or treating a person or group differently because of what they do or do not believe.

Discrimination based on sexual orientation

Homophobia is an aversion to or hatred of gay, lesbian or homosexual people, or their lifestyle or culture, or generally of people with a different sexual orientation, including bi-sexual and transgender people.

Discrimination based on disability

The term ‘person with a disability’ may refer to many different conditions: a disability may be physical, intellectual, sensory or psycho-social, temporary or permanent, and result from illness, injury or genetics. People with disabilities have the same human rights as all other people.
