Does legislation explicitly prohibit discrimination in access to employer-provided training on the basis of gender identity?
Map reflects policies in place as of August 2016. Updates of these data are currently in progress.
The term “gender identity” includes references to ‘gender expression’, ‘gender reassignment’, ‘transgenderism’, or ‘Hijra/Kothi’. For the purposes of this variable, the term “gender identity” captures all of these definitions.
No prohibition
means that legislation does not take an explicit approach to prohibiting discrimination in employer-provided training on the basis of gender identity. This does not mean that legislation denies this guarantee.
General prohibition of discrimination in training
means that legislation prohibits discrimination in employer-provided training generally— for example, by prohibiting discrimination based on “any status” or stating no worker may be discriminated against. This general prohibition is not specifically extended on the basis of gender identity.
Broad prohibition of workplace discrimination based on gender identity
means that legislation extends a prohibition of discrimination at the workplace on the basis of gender identity, but does not explicitly address discrimination in employer-provided training on this basis. These broad prohibitions use language that could extend prohibition of discrimination across any aspect of work.
Yes, gender identity-specific prohibition
means that legislation either: a) extends an explicit gender identity-based prohibition of discrimination in employer-provided training, or b) extends a broad prohibition of gender identity-based workplace discrimination alongside a general prohibition of discrimination in employer-provided training to all workers.
