The document summarizes discrimination in job recruitment according to Ugandan law. It defines discrimination as any distinction, exclusion or preference made on the basis of attributes such as race, religion, disability status. However, the law allows for preferences if they are based on the inherent requirements of the job. While claims of discrimination should be taken seriously, organizations can give preference to candidates whose attributes relate directly to a job's duties, like a Christian organization preferring a Christian director. Everyone has a responsibility to promote equal opportunity and prevent unlawful discrimination.

The St Lawrence
The St Lawrence river has always been used as a great routeway. For
its first European explorers. It was the entrance to the vast, and
then unknown, land of Canada. Along its banks settlers built their
farmstead, founded Canada’s greatest cities, and fought the Indians.
Making their way far inland along the river, they set up the fur
trade-exporting the furs back along the ST Lawrence and across the
Atlantic to Europe.
The modern St Lawrence has been alterd and controlled to make an
even greater trade route. Its rapids have been by passed, its
changing levels overcome by the use of locks, and its force has been
harnessed to produce electricity. Since the completion of the St
Lawrence Seaway, the river forms part of huge waterway stretching
from the Atlantic to the head of the Great Lakes. Appropriately, the
French explorer Jacques Cartier, who discovered the St Lawrence,
Called it ‘ The River Of Canada’.

6. Discrimination in Job Recruitment
Many times, you hear job-seekers complaining that they were denied a job because they “come from the wrong region of the
country”. Or that they are not from this or that religious belief, they are disabled, or have bad looks. Some of these people may
be right in their claims of discrimination.
However, before we rush into giving our verdict, what exactly is discrimination according to the laws of Uganda?
According to Section 6(3) of the Employment Act of 2006, “discrimination includes any distinction, exclusion or preference
made on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin, HIV status or disability...that
may prevent an employee from obtaining any benefit under a contract of service”.
Therefore, it is unlawful for anybody to be discriminated on any of the above terms.
However, like any law, there must be room for which certain situations can be accommodated. For example, if Byamukama
Evangelistic Ministries, a Christian NGO involved in evangelistic work and community development, advertises a job of an
executive director and indicates that the potential candidate must be a mature and committed Christian, or even compelling
every potential candidate to bring a letter from their local pastor, yhis would not be categorized as discrimination. Why?
The act provides for this kind of preference or exclusion. It states thus : “ any distinction, exclusion or preference in respect of a
particular job based on the inherent requirements of that particular job shall not be deemed to be discrimination.”
In other words, because of the nature of the work required by the job holder, they’re not professing Christianity may impair
their ability to effectively perform their duties.
Everyone is changed with the responsibility of eliminating discrimination. It is for this reason that organizations worth their salt
ensure that they promote equal opportunity for all. Some of these steps include the statements like ; “Kachumbali Enterprises is
an equal opportunity employer” in their job adverts.
Otherwise, if you feel you have been discriminated against in light of the above and have sufficient evidence, please go to the
Ministry of Labor or to a district labor office and seek redress.
