What is Directly and indirectly discriminate?

Direct discrimination occurs when an individual is treated less favorably than another person due to a specific characteristic, such as race, gender, or age. Indirect discrimination happens when a policy or practice that appears neutral disproportionately disadvantages a particular group, even if there is no intention to discriminate. Both forms of discrimination can lead to unequal treatment and have significant social and legal implications. Addressing these issues is crucial for promoting equity and inclusion in various settings.
