1. Refugees hostel workers
The first job description providing job to the African women and the refugees as the hostel
workers is legal in accordance with the equality and the diversity laws of United Kingdom.
According the equality Act 2010, the refugees residing in U.K are liable to get equal rights
just as the other residents of United Kingdom. It is this act that protects the migrants against
race discrimination such as the nationality, ethnic origin and colors (Equality and Human
Rights Commission. 2010).
It has to be noted that the ethnic minorities in United Kingdom faces significant barriers
in the social mobility and discrimination in terms of employments in spite of having better
qualifications than their white counterparts. Hence, the refugees and the Africans should have
the same protection against discrimination at workplace, on the grounds of gender
assignment, race, religion, disability, age and sexual orientation. All the job selections has to
be on the basis of the suitability of the posts. Refugees are not the part of the points-based
system, where all the migrants have to meet certain skills, requirements and experience levels
to apply jobs. They are able to work in United Kingdom without any restrictions like the
other employees in UK as per the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights act 1998
(England and Henry 2013). It is the Equality act that imposes positive obligations on the
public authorities. The act does not specifically consider the migrants, but is applicable to all
people. The legal opinion by the equality and the Human rights commission has confirmed
that people who are under the immigration control should not be exempted from the

immigration control. There are several rules that has been introduced to provide equal job
opportunities to the refugees and Black African women. Once an individual have claimed for
an asylum and have been given a refugee status, the asylum support stops 28 days after the
decision. For example an individual would stop getting the case allowance kept for the
asylum seekers. Once, someone have received the refugee status, an individual can get
permission to work in United Kingdom in any profession and at any skill level. There are a
lot more support service for the refugees in UK. The United Kingdom provides very limited
refugee resettlement programs where only the selected residents are allowed to come and
settle in UK without passing through the asylum process. Before appointing the individual
for the work there are certain things that has to be checked before the appointment (Equality
and Human Rights Commission. 2010). The home office issues a biometric Residence Permit
or an immigration status document to the refugees when they are granted with the leave to
reside in UK. Some of the main documents that are required are the Biometric Residence
Permit and Immigration status document. Such work permit can pave the way for the
migrants and the ethnic minorities to work in United Kingdom without any discrimination
(Equality and Human Rights Commission. 2010).
While scrutinizing these two advertisements, concepts of positive action should be taken
in to consideration. Positive action can be defined as the action that an employer takes for
helping or encouraging some unprivileged group of people such as the refugees and the
asylum seekers or people with any sort of disabilities. It is evident from the initial
advertisement that the job is open for specifically the African women aged 18-30 years
(Equality and Human Rights Commission. 2012). African refugees have to face a lot of
workplace discrimination and unfortunately, it has been found that the Black African women
