ONTARIO HUMAN RIGHTS CODE

HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN RIGHTS – Fundamental rights & freedoms to which all people are entitled DISCRIMINATION – Treating a person unfairly because of his or her race, religion, sex, etc….Can you think of some others???

HUMAN RIGHTS Discrimination stems from stereotyping (having an oversimplified judgement of group of people). Stereotyping leads to prejudice. When someone’s behaviour towards another is based on stereotypes & prejudices, the result is discrimination. When discrimination happens without governmental laws being broken or involvement the CCRF doesn’t apply – it turns to each province’s Human Rights Codes. Ours is the Ontario Human Rights Code.

5 PROTECTED ‘AREAS’ The Ontario Human Rights Code provides protection from discrimination in 5 areas of our lives. The areas are: 1) GOODS, SERVICES & FACILITIES: includes schools, hospitals, shops, restaurants, sports & rec. organizations and facilities 2) OCCUPANCY OF ACCOMMODATION: the place where you live or want to live, whether you rent or own 3) CONTRACTS: written or oral agreements 4) EMPLOYMENT: including ads, application forms and interviews as well as assignments, training, and promotion 5) ASSOCIATION/UNION MEMBERSHIP: ex: OSSTF

If all these areas are protected, where can you discriminate then??

GROUNDS OF DISCRIMINATION If, in any of the 5 AREAS previously listed, a person faces discrimination on any of the following 16 GROUNDS, then he/she is protected by the OHRC These are the 16 prohibited grounds for discrimination!! Race – common decent or external features such as skin colour, hair texture, facial characteristics Ancestry – family descent Place of Origin – country or region Colour – associated with race Ethnic Origin – social, cultural or religious practices drawn from a common past

GROUNDS OF DISCRIMINATION Citizenship – membership in a state or nation Creed – religion or faith Sex – discrimination can be sexual in nature, or because of gender or pregnancy. This also includes the right to breastfeed in public areas or in the workplace.
