iscrimination occurs when individuals are treated unfairly based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or disability. It undermines the fundamental principle of equality, which asserts that all people deserve respect and fair treatment.

Understanding Discrimination

Discrimination can manifest in various forms: direct, indirect, systemic, and institutional. It can occur in workplaces, educational settings, and social interactions, often perpetuating stereotypes and social divisions.
