Muslim detective Nighat Hubbard sues Met over racism and sexism
A Muslim detective who was made an MBE for her charity work is suing the Met police for alleged racism and sexism. Det Con Nighat Hubbard claims that male colleagues made discriminating comments to her and other females officers when she worked in the force. She further claimed that she was held back whilst White colleagues were allowed to go on more complex investigations.
This story shows representations of religion because the woman was a Muslim and discriminated against because of it by not being put on more complex investigations while white officers were given more of an opportunity, also representation of gender because she claimed that her and other female officers were discriminated against by Male officers in the work place, you would expect better from the police themselves. In my opinion this story shows that there is still a huge amount of inequality and discrimination towards ethnic minority's and women in the workplace despite the many laws that have been passed in recent years.
