Where does discrimination most happen?

Where can discrimination occur?

Discrimination is unlawful if it happens in the following areas:

Work

You are protected from discrimination in the workforce by law, including full time, part time, casual or contract work. You’re also covered while on probation.

All stages of employment are covered by Territory law, from job advertisements, applications and job offers, to probation periods and promotions, training, transfers and dismissal.

Goods, services and facilities

All Territorians have equal rights when accessing goods, services and facilities. Discrimination happens if someone withholds these things from you on the grounds of race, age, sex or another attribute. Offering different terms and conditions on these grounds is also illegal.

This area includes:

shops and restaurants

transport and travel

sale and leasing of land

any profession, trade or business

access to and use of public places

councils and government departments

entertainment, sport and recreation

banking, hire purchase and finance companies

accommodation

education

registered clubs that serve alcohol

insurance and superannuation.

Accommodation

Whether you are renting a room or staying in a holiday unit, everyone should be treated fairly when accessing accommodation. It’s against the law to deny someone a place to live or stay on the grounds of race, age, sex or another attribute. The law includes:

applications for accommodation

sale terms and conditions

waiting lists.

The law doesn’t cover renting rooms to people in the home where you live.

Education

All Territorians have the right to equal access to education. It’s against the law to refuse entry to a course, facility or benefit, or to expel a student on the grounds of an attribute, such as race, gender or age.

Single sex schools are allowed to select male or female only students and religious schools may limit enrolment to students of that religion.

Insurance and superannuation

It may be against the law to refuse someone insurance or superannuation on the grounds of an attribute such as race, age or sex, unless this is based on statistical information or is permitted by law.

Clubs

It can be illegal to refuse someone membership to a club on the grounds of race, age, sex or another attribute. Keep in mind, clubs are allowed to cater for specific groups of people, such as an age, ethnic or gender group, or for people with physical or intellectual impairments.

A club must have more than 30 members and serve alcohol.

Discrimination that happens in the home or in your private life isn’t covered by the Act.

How can we stop discrimination?

Implement policies that prohibit discrimination in the workplace and school zones. Draft key points that fight discrimination, set them in stone and publicize them to employees and students. Such rules that fight discrimination would include firing, suspending or expelling those that use foul language, discriminatory jokes, name calling and foul body gestures. Publicize the rules in the student and employee handbook, as well as posting flyers. Handbooks displaying the company or school code of conduct should be given to each employee or student upon admittance. Display flyers in popular spots among the work or school zone, such as in hallways, information boards, break rooms and restrooms. Make the work or school zone aware that not only is discrimination wrong, but it will not be tolerated.

Display the consequences if found guilty of discrimination though the policy handbook. Give employees and students a workplace policy guide or the school's code of ethics handbook which shows what might happen if one is found guilty of discrimination. Employees may be suspended without pay or fired from the job. Students may be suspended or expelled from school. Enforce the rules to stop discrimination.

Present meeting lectures and invite keynote speakers to talk about the negative short term and long term effects of discrimination in the workplace or school environment. Set yearly or monthly code of conduct meetings for employees to attend. Yearly meetings may last up to an hour going over various forms of discrimination, while monthly meeting are shorter, only reminding associates or students that discrimination is not tolerated. Hosting long monthly meetings is not feasible, so some companies have "morning monthly huddles" to remind employees the rules of the workplace. Schools can hold keynote speakers that were victims of discrimination. Speakers can share to students why discrimination is wrong and how it can be avoided. Evaluate the progress of stopping discrimination. Check to see if there was a decrease in workplace or school reports of discrimination through the human resources department or dean's office. Hand out surveys after a meeting or lecture to see if there was a positive impact among the employees or students.

Join the battle against discrimination though a variety of organizations that fight discrimination together. Many websites and town organizations can be joined to help fight discrimination. Join the organizations that fit your personality best. For example, if racial discrimination is something you deal with, join peers who have the same problem. Together knowledge can be spread to help fight the problem. These groups host town lectures in the public library or school to teach the negative effects of discrimination. Events are also hosted to show that everyone has the right to live an equal life. For example, disability rights activists host wheel chair rugby, where two teams verse each other on a court to play rugby despite the fact they are handicapped. Gay and lesbian rights activists meet to draft letters to Congress in hopes of creating stricter laws to prevent discrimination against them in the workplace.

Humans are naturally motivated to categorize people and objects. This is normal cognitive behavior. But discrimination goes beyond that. Research shows that the attitudes of people who discriminate are a reflection of a complex set of factors including their history, sociocultural practices, economic forces, sociological trends and the influence of community and family beliefs.

Some of the most damaging forms of discrimination are the result of deep-seated, destructive generalizations about a certain group. In such cases, people harbor unrealistic, disparaging beliefs about a group and its members, while also maintaining a sense of the moral or intellectual superiority of their own group. These individuals are consciously aware of their negative emotions toward members of the group, and intend to harm, disadvantage or avoid them.

Unlike its presence in the world of politics, religion failed to take a prominent role in political science in much of the modern era. Recent research suggests this might be changing. It also suggests that in order to study religion, scholars need more data on the subject. This study introduces a new data collection on religious discrimination at the minority level and uses this new data collection to compare religious discrimination in western democracies, Asia and the Middle East for the time period 1990–2004. In this paper, religious discrimination, ethnicity and religion are first discussed with specific emphasis on Muslim majority states and the Middle East. Second, the process of data collection, including case selection, forming a religious discrimination index, coding and back-up coding issues, is outlined. Finally, results on religious discrimination in different regions and states with different majority religions are presented. The data indicate that western democracies treat their religious minorities much better than Middle Eastern countries or Asian countries. Yet the Middle East, which is considered the most prominent example of a region with religious tension, does not have significantly higher average religious discrimination values than Asia. Similarly, even though states with a Muslim majority seem to be less tolerant compared to states with a Christian majority, in states with other majority religions such as Buddhism or Hinduism, discrimination against ethnoreligious groups is present as well. Moreover, religious discrimination values for the minorities in western democracies increased after September 11.
