Document Summary
Definitions: substantive equality: whether a law accommodates the real difference between people, to the point where it is truly non-discriminatory. Substantive equality recognises that policies and practices put in place to suit the majority of clients may appear to be non- discriminatory but may not address the specific needs of certain groups of people. In effect they may be indirectly discriminatory, creating systemic discrimination. Charters protecting migrants" rights: canadian charter of rights and freedoms. Section 15: right to equality, no discrimination, but actually limits discrimination on analogous grounds: ontario human rights code. Establishes standards on public/private entities: what people can use to really make claims, as opposed to the broad charter. Labour migration cycle: stage 1: recruitment. Shapes migrants view on rights (bad/good beginning to the whole experience) At this point, there is some abuse already, such as: Fees, work conditions, wages, different type of work, etc.
