  3. How Is Hair Tied To Discrimination? Most people know that discrimination is illegal in the workplace. There are groups that are protected by state and federal law.

  4. It Is Illegal To Discriminate Against Someone Because Of Their: 01 03 Disability Age Marital status 02

  5. 07 04 06 Religion (or lack of religion) Ethnicity or nationality Sexual orientation Gender or sexual identity Race or color 08 05 During the latest reporting year in the United States, there were over 84,000 instances of workplace discrimination reported to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. That does not include all of the complaints handled on the state level.

  6. However, California is about to take protections to the next level with the CROWN Act. CROWN stands for – “creating a respectful and open workplace for natural hair.” Many people do not realize that black people often face discrimination in the workplace due to their natural hair. They are encouraged or are pressured to avoid wearing culturally relevant and historical hairstyles such as Afros, twists, braids, cornrows, and dreadlocks.

  7. The CROWN Act, which has been passed by both the California Senate and Assembly, would make it illegal to “punish black employees and students for their hairstyles.” The bill, if signed by the governor, would extend protections against discrimination that are already in place under the Fair Employment and Housing Act in California. Discrimination in the workplace, in any form, is harmful to a person’s economic, psychological, and emotional well-being. In many places, workers do not report instances of discrimination because they think their employer will retaliate against them. Retaliation is also illegal under state and federal law.
