How hair discrimination affects Black women at work

Written by: News Editor

Published: 12 May 2023

Afro-textured hair is stereotyped and stigmatized around the world. Even in places where there are protections against race-based hair discrimination, Black women bear the brunt of the burden when it comes to hair bias.

In some areas, legislation is being enacted to counteract the prevalent hair discrimination many people face within workplaces and schools. An important piece of U.S. legislation that’s setting a precedent for other protections is the CROWN Act, which stands for creating a respectful and open world for natural hair. It provides protections against race-based hair bias, prohibiting discrimination based on hair texture and protective styles including braids, twists, and locs. Although 20 states have adopted the legislation, hair discrimination is not prohibited at a federal level in the U.S.

Published: 15 June 2022

Toronto’s Black residents received an apology from the city’s interim police chief on Wednesday as the force released previously unseen race-based data showing disproportionate use of force on them, although the gesture was immediately rejected by some.

Interim chief James Ramer said the force needs to do better.

“As an organization, we have not done enough to ensure that every person in our city receives fair and unbiased policing,” he said at news conference. “For this, as chief of police and on behalf of the service, I am sorry and I apologize unreservedly.”

A new network will support research excellence, mentorship and collaboration among Black scholars at U of T

For immigrants to Canada from Africa and the Caribbean who can’t get access to traditional loans, the answer to their financial needs is sometimes each other. A group of acquaintances will come together to create what is essentially an informal banking co-operative.

To academics, this practice is known as a “rotating savings and credit association” or ROSCA. The groups are little-known to most Canadians, but Caroline Shenaz Hossein, an associate professor of global development and political science at U of T Scarborough, has spoken with hundreds of members of these associations in Canada and the Caribbean for a book she’s writing. (In Jamaica, the associations are known as “pardnas” and, in Trinidad, “susus.”)
