Milton","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3661698","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3661698","url":null,"abstract":"Income Share Agreements (ISAs) have been touted as a solution to the recent staggering increases in student debt. That debt crisis is a civil rights crisis. On average, Black Americans have more student debt, which they face against a backdrop of stark disparities in wealth, income, and related metrics. Although the U.S. is desperately in need of solutions for the student debt crisis — and the accompanying racial and ethnic disparities — features of existing ISAs threaten to exacerbate, not mitigate, inequalities. <br><br>ISAs are essentially educational loans that students agree to pay back using a percentage of their future income. ISAs come in a variety of forms — including differences in terms and conditions, the parties offering them, and the quality and types of educational programs funded. In the abstract, these arrangements could be an interesting alternative to the existing student loan regime. However, while existing programs are not equal in terms of benefits and risks, there is evidence that some variations of ISAs are being used to further new iterations of a classic American tragedy: targeting minority communities for exploitative and predatory products. And even in the more benign forms of ISAs, some features used to set terms and conditions — such as school- or major-based distinctions — risk unnecessarily perpetuating disparities adverse to historically underserved groups. <br><br>This article assesses ISAs under core anti-discrimination frameworks such as traditional disparate treatment and impact, as well as reverse redlining. Although this article focuses on the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) — the primary federal statute prohibiting discrimination in credit transactions — it also highlights other anti-discrimination statutes that may apply to ISAs, including state and local fair lending and public accommodations laws.","PeriodicalId":42250,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Discrimination and the Law","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85780438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, although albinism occurs in all parts of the world, it is more prevalent in some societies than in others. For example, Tanzania, in common with other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, has a high prevalence of albinism. Apart from being subjected to blatant discrimination and abuse, people with albinism suffer atrocious attacks sometimes resulting in death. This paper explores the nature and extent of discrimination and human rights violations of people with albinism in Tanzania in the context of the relevant legal framework available for their protection. Using people with albinism in Tanzania as a proxy, the paper argues that there is a need for human rights education not only to empower vulnerable people to defend and protect their rights but also to sensitize societies to respect and not violate the rights of such people. The paper concludes with several recommendations that apply to people with albinism in Tanzania as much as they would apply to any vulnerable group anywhere else in the world.","PeriodicalId":42250,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Discrimination and the Law","volume":"20 1","pages":"137 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1358229120948691","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41378685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the 2003 Constitution, one of the fundamental principles which have to be upheld by the State is the ‘eradication of discrimination and divisionism based on ethnicity, region or on any other ground as well as promotion of national unity’. Article 15 of the Constitution provides for equality before the law and Article 16 of the Constitution prohibits discrimination and it provides for the grounds on which a person shall not be discriminated against. Rwanda is also one of the very few African countries whose constitutions criminalise discrimination and different laws have been enacted to deal with the offence of discrimination. The Supreme Court of Rwanda, the highest court in the country, has handed down decisions on Articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution. The purpose of this article is to analyse these decisions and illustrate how the Supreme Court has dealt with the issues such as the definition of discrimination and the difference between discrimination and differentiation. The author also discusses the issues that the Rwandan judiciary and prosecutors are likely to face when dealing with the offence of discrimination.","PeriodicalId":42250,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Discrimination and the Law","volume":"20 1","pages":"156 - 180"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1358229120956497","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49451548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, gender discrimination in the labor market is complex: when hiring or dismissing, while restricting access to certain professions and positions, in matters of promotion and career growth, when remuneration is paid for performing the same work, not related to differences in labor efficiency. Discrimination is especially sensitive in relation to pregnant women and women with young children. Discrimination continues with access to social measures for avoiding poverty and in the pension system. Further progress requires more strategically significant and focused actions to identify and bridge the remaining factors of systemic discrimination and gender gaps. In the article, we show the insufficient attention of the legal science of Kazakhstan to the problems of regulation of equality. We present the author’s methodology for analyzing labor and social legislation from the perspective of regulating gender equality, consisting of several assessments: Kazakhstan’s fulfillment of international obligations; implementation of the principle of nondiscrimination in labor and social legislation; administrative and judicial mechanisms to protect against discrimination based on sex; and opportunities for implementing best foreign and international practices for the regulation of equality.","PeriodicalId":42250,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Discrimination and the Law","volume":"20 1","pages":"20 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1358229120927904","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41776827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
