Life in the UK Test 33
Which of the following is NOT protected by the laws of discrimination?
Correct Answer: Traditional customs
Traditional customs are not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. The act protects individuals from discrimination based on nine specific protected characteristics:
age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.
Traditional customs — such as cultural or social practices — are not listed and therefore not covered by these protections.
