ABSTRACT
Discrimination is described as the treatment of a person in a less favourable way than another person is, has been or would be treated on any of the above grounds.
Discrimination may be direct or indirect. To establish direct discrimination, a comparison must be made. For example, in the case of gender discrimination, the comparison must be between a man and a woman. Indirect discrimination occurs when practices or policies which do not appear as discrimination against one group more than another actually have a discriminatory impact. It
can also occur where a requirement, which may appear non-discriminatory, adversely affects a particular group or class of persons.
