Firm signs Halo Code after survey finds one in five women feel pressure to straighten hair
An anti-discrimination campaign focused on black people’s hair has won the backing of one of the UK’s biggest employers, Unilever, which has pledged to protect workers with afros and dreadlocks.
The manufacturer, which makes Dove soap and Magnum ice-cream, has signed a new code intended to end bias against students and employees with hairstyles associated with their racial, ethnic, and cultural identities.
