diskriminacio

Diskriminacio refers to the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or other characteristics. It can manifest in various forms, including direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimization. Direct discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favorably than another person because of a protected characteristic. Indirect discrimination happens when a policy, practice, or rule applies to everyone but puts people with a particular protected characteristic at a disadvantage. Harassment is unwanted conduct related to a protected characteristic that violates a person's dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment. Victimization is being treated unfairly because you have complained about discrimination or supported someone else's complaint.

Discrimination can occur in many areas of life, such as employment, education, housing, and the provision of goods and services. It is often rooted in prejudice, stereotypes, and biases. Many countries have legal frameworks in place to prohibit discrimination and provide remedies for victims. These laws aim to promote equality and ensure that everyone is treated fairly and with respect, regardless of their background or personal attributes. Addressing discrimination involves not only legal measures but also raising awareness, promoting inclusivity, and challenging discriminatory attitudes and behaviors within society.
