Zero Discrimination Day and Employment
Some countries have much further to go that others to eliminate discrimination, however no country is truly free of all forms of discrimination. This day can be used by employers to focus on the part they play in removing discrimination and how they can stop individuals being treated differently for reasons such as who they are, what they look like or who they love.
