Sort it!
Ever felt singled out? And, no, I’m not talking about never being able to find a partner, but about being treated worse than others because of who you are. Take a Japanese friend of mine, who lives in Edinburgh. Her neighbours are so noisy she can barely hear herself think. For a while, she just put up with it. But when she got pregnant, she decided to have a word. The neighbours just shouted abuse at her and told her to go back where she came from.
It’s not right to be singled out and treated worse than others because of who you are. Everyone has a right to be treated with respect and dignity. Yet things like this happen all the time. People are constantly singled out because they’re black, they’re pregnant, they’re Jewish, they’re gay or they have epilepsy, for example.
In fact, when was the last time something like this happened to you? Did you just put up with it? Because you don’t have to. Many types of discrimination are against the law. And there are many support groups and advisers out there who can help you work out how to deal with discrimination.
Our magazine, 'Sort it!' includes reader's letters, real-life stories and a 'good boss, bad boss' guide. There's also a quick round up of your discrimination rights.
