Discrimination claim a win for Asian women
A WOMAN says her successful discrimination claim against Nottinghamshire Black Partnership (NBP) is not just a victory for her but “a win for many Asian women.”
Aneela Asim, former chief executive of NBP, brought claims of sexual and racial discrimination and harassment against the organisation.
The tribunal ruled she was successful in all three claims, and that the reason for her treatment was a mixture of her taking sides in a board dispute and her sex and race.
“I’m over the moon,” Mrs Asim told the Post. “But at the same time I think it’s not just a win for me, it’s a win for many Asian women out there.”
The claims were brought against Najeeb Nazir and Mohammad Aslam as representative members of the board, not in a personal capacity.
