Tackling Racism and Racial Discrimination In the Workplace - French Universalism vs the Rest of the World?
AFMD Webinar 2022 | Replay
In 2018 the AFMD published Le racisme et la discrimination raciale au travail. At that time, we wrote that these subjects weren’t given priority to by professional organisations. It is evident that in spite of social movements like Black Lives Matter, actions against racism and racial discrimination are still few and far between in D&I policies.
On the occasion of the translation of this publication, the AFMD organised a round table "Tackling Racism and Racial Discrimination In the Workplace - French Universalism vs the Rest of the World?" on the 7th of October, as a closing event for the Seri 2022. The discussions that took place underlined the specificity of the French context regarding the fight against racism in the workplace.

Two posters on the manifestations and the consequences of racism complete the book. They are tools for professionals to have a better grasp on these problematics and address them within their organisation. These posters have also been translated: do not hesitate to use them to raise awareness amongst your team and open discussions!
