Under what circumstances can positive action be applied in sex discrimination?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Positive action can be applied in sex discrimination when there is evidence of underrepresentation or disadvantage of a particular gender in a particular area. This can help to address imbalance and promote equality by providing opportunities for the underrepresented gender. It is important that positive action is proportionate and temporary, and does not result in unjust discrimination against individuals of the other gender.
