Muslim woman files Canada complaint over dress code
A Muslim woman suspended from her job at Toronto's Pearson airport for wearing a skirt deemed too long by her employer has filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.The complaint states the woman had been discriminated against on the basis of her religion by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) and the security company that employed her, Garda of Canada. Halima Muse, 33, had worked as a screener in the airport's security area for the past five years. She had worn pants with her uniform, but in February 2007, she asked her employer to supply her with a skirt because she felt the pants were not modest enough and showed the shape of her body. She said she was told her choices were either pants or a knee-length skirt, which goes against the Islamic dress code. Posted by: ed 2007-11-21 |
