Sexualized and gender-based dress codes off the menu at Ontario restaurants
This year, on International Women’s Day, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) released a new report, Not on the Menu: Inquiry Report on Sexual and Gender-based Dress Codes in Ontario’s Restaurants. It outlines findings from an inquiry into dress codes at various Ontario restaurants and commitments made by a number of restaurant chains to put an end to discriminatory dress codes for restaurant staff — particularly female and transgender workers — and create more inclusive workplaces.
