Discrimination:
• direct discrimination: when one person is treated less favorably than another because of their background or certain personal characteristics.
• indirect discrimination: laws, policies and practices that apply to everyone in the same way and that may appear neutral but have a worse effect on some people than on others.
• intersectional discrimination: the complex, multi-faceted dimensions of discrimination on the grounds of social categories or personal characteristics.
