Introduction
Every person is entitled to have the same rights and protections under the law.

which it influences some people that belongs to particular social group and rights
confirmed under the law to prevent such discrimination.

where people belonging to the LGBT community often get dismissed from

orientation and the same is considered as unlawful dismissal for the purpose of
the Employment Rights Act 1996, which is further discussed in this report. Other
