  1. 3. Identité sexuelle et expression de l’identité sexuelle

    From: Politique sur la prévention de la discrimination fondée sur l’identité sexuelle et l’expression de l’identité sexuelle

    Le Code ne définit pas les motifs de l’identité sexuelle, de l’expression de l’identité sexuelle ou du sexe. Notre compréhension de ces notions et de termes connexes, et son incidence sur le Code et les politiques de la CODP, évoluent plutôt à la lumière des décisions des tribunaux administratifs et judiciaires, de la recherche menées en sciences sociales, de l’auto-identité et de l’usage que l’on fait de ces termes et notions au quotidien.

  2. 3. Issues unique to creed accommodation

    From: Human rights and creed research and consultation report

    While the notion of accommodation has been most developed in the context of disability, it is not new to creed. There are unique accommodation issues specific to creed that arise, in part due to the unique nature of religion and creed as a form and basis of social difference. Creed practices and observances, particularly those connected to religion, for instance, generally include collective dimensions and expressions, which can grate against the grain of widely accepted accommodation norms and principles (e.g.

  3. 3. Methodology

    From: Right to Read inquiry report

    To assess Ontario’s performance on its approach to reading disabilities, the OHRC obtained documents, data and information from a variety of sources using several different methods.

  4. 3. OHRC Methodology

    From: Minds that matter: Report on the consultation on human rights, mental health and addictions

    In 2009, to establish a plan to address systemic discrimination based on mental health, the OHRC developed and released a consultation paper, received written submissions and conducted in-depth interviews. This feedback led the OHRC to hold a consultation to develop a policy on human rights and mental health. The policy consultation took place over several months in 2010 and 2011. It included interviews, focus groups, round-table sessions (in Toronto, Windsor, Ottawa and North Bay), a call for written submissions and an online and mail-in survey.

  5. 3. Sexual harassment in employment

    From: Policy on preventing sexual and gender-based harassment

    While unequal power relationships exist in many sectors of society, they tend to appear the most in the workplace, where hierarchies are common. Both women and men may experience sexual harassment in employment, but women tend to be more vulnerable to harassment by men, because relative to men, more women hold lower-paying, lower-authority and lower-status jobs. At the same time, even women in positions of authority are not free from sexual harassment or inappropriate gender-related behaviour.[100]

  6. 3. The intersection of age with other grounds of discrimination

    From: Policy on discrimination against older people because of age

    The experience of age discrimination may differ based on other components of a person’s identity. For example, certain groups of older persons may experience unique barriers as a result of the intersection of age with gender, disability, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, culture and language. Please see Time for Action for a more detailed discussion of “age and intersectionality” and the particular barriers faced by certain groups.
