Testing for Discrimination: Identifying and Prosecuting Huma
Description
This tactical notebook focuses on the
successful transplanting to Hungary of
“testing,” a tactic developed in the antidiscrimination
movement in the United
States. In testing, an advocacy organization
that has received a complaint of an incident
of discrimination, immediately sends out
“testers” to replicate the incident. If a person,
for instance, is denied a job based on their
identity, “testers” are sent out immediately to
apply for the same job and document their
treatment. This documentation will be
legitimate evidence of the systematic nature
of the discrimination.
