Parliament In France Backs Bill to Stop Hair Discrimination Against Black Women

The recent legislative actions by the French government are significantly impacting the social fabric of the nation. Following the establishment of abortion as a constitutional right for women in January, the government is now focusing on addressing discrimination based on hair-related factors. A bill passed by the Members of France’s lower house of parliament prohibits discrimination concerning hair texture, length, color, or style.

This bill is now advancing to the Senate amid concerns of potential opposition. It was introduced by Olivier Serva, a parliament member representing the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. Serva emphasizes that individuals who diverge from Eurocentric norms often encounter discrimination, stereotypes, and prejudice. Explore our video for further insights.
