In this report I will be discussing the promotion of anti-discriminatory practice of the sex discrimination act by answering these following questions.
Has the sex discrimination act worked?
My belief is that the sex discrimination act has prevented a lot of discrimination for taking place for those who are afraid to break the law, however for those who aren’t afraid to break the law still discriminate against people because of their gender and sexuality. Research shows that despite the Sex Discrimination Act’s undeniable achievements, there is cause for concern about its current and future role, and that more than cosmetic reform is necessary. Also just because the act was put into place doesn’t change people’s opinion of sexuality or gender they will always have discriminatory thoughts about people no matter what law is put into place or what the consequences are for discrimination.
Has it been successful in promoting anti-discriminatory practice?
It hasn’t been successful in promoting anti-discriminatory practice as discrimination is still occurring even though the law is put into place as people are not afraid of the law. Research shows that there are still a lot of sex discrimination that occurs every day although many cases are not being reported as people feel like nothing will be done therefore there is no need of reporting the case, this sometimes results in people taking matters into their own hands and dealing with situation on their own resulting in violence and more crime occurring in society. For example a woman wins sex discrimination case after miscarriages, the woman had two miscarriages and claimed she was sacked because of the time she took off work after them, has been awarded more than £12,500. Although she had won her case and got compensation she was still discriminated as she was a woman who was going through womanly difficulties yet her boss didn’t take into consideration instead he got rid of her because she was
