We dedicate this to MR SEUN OLOKETUYI, the man behind the Best of Nollywood Award and publisher/Editor-in-Chief of Best of Nollywood Magazine and NaijaHottestGist.com. For the benefit of those who does not know him which I doubt... LOL
Best of Nollywood recognises and promotes
artists who have through their work distinguished themselves among their
colleagues by giving award in recognition of their outstanding performance and
many more.
We shall be discussing Equality Act of 2010 as it relates to
age because its Mr BON’s birthday, this act brought together existing
regulations that gave protection against ageism and other forms of discriminations;
this law protects you against ageism in work place, training and education. This
law protects your right not to be treated badly at work place because of your
age.
Discrimination can either be
directly or indirectly ,an example of direct discrimination at work is when you
are treated less favourably because of a
protected characteristics, where an employer says ‘he will not promote you
because you are too young or too old while an indirect discrimination is where
a person is disadvantaged by something such as criteria that exclude people of
their protected characteristics for example a job is advertised and the
prospective employer states ...position for recent graduates, this is most
likely to exclude most old people. This is common in Nigeria i think we need to
task the government, trade unions and professional bodies to protect our
rights and enforce this Act.
Victimization as a result of
giving evidence for report made by someone else against discrimination, harassment
by colleagues simply because you are young
or old. REPORT THEM
Contact a lawyer today and get
your rights protected.
Thank you.
