The National Assembly adopts a text against “hair discrimination”. The text of the Guadeloupean deputy Olivier Serva was adopted by 44 votes to two.
It aims in particular to prevent employers from forcing their employees to straighten their hair to hide their afro cuts, or to hide braids and dreadlocks. The bill is now being transmitted to the Senate where its future is uncertain. More information to come…. The National Assembly voted on Thursday at first reading a bill aimed at penalizing "hair discrimination", particularly at work.
