Sexual discrimination
Print Edition
A WOMAN won a sex discrimination case against a catering college after her application for a clerical position was rejected as it only wanted male staff.
Xihu District People’s Court in Hangzhou said last week the catering college had violated the woman’s rights to equal employment and should pay her 2,000 yuan (US$323) in compensation.
Guo Jing, a college graduate, took Dongfang Cooking Training School in Hangzhou to court after it rejected her job application in late June on the basis that “the school only wants male employees.”
Guo said she met all the school’s requirements for the job.
This is the second such case that has created a storm in the country.
Two years ago, a woman named Cao Ju sued a company for sexual discrimination and won. Cao was awarded 30,000 yuan in compensation in what has been called “China’s first employment gender discrimination case.”
A report from the All-China Women’s Federation in 2011 showed that 56.7 percent of female college graduates interviewed said they had fewer opportunities than their male counterparts. Ninety-one percent of the interviewees felt that they had been victims of sexual discrimination from employers.
