Equal Rights…Equal Opportunity..
The equal opportunity act is a state legislation act relating to
employment which is contained in the Equal Opportunity Act of 1995. The act and
subsequent amendments make it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against
a person on the grounds of status or private life. The equal opportunities act is concerned with ensuring equal
opportunities in employment on the basis of relevant merits, skills and
competency. The act is implemented by the Director of Human Resources.
An
unexpected Indian Supreme Court ruling on Dec. 11 upholding a law that
criminalizes same-sex relationships drew a swift rebuke within 24 hours from
Navi Pillay, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, who called
it a violation of international rights. The Indian court decision came barely a
day after international Human Rights Day.
