World Afro Day campaign urges MPs to update Equality Act to make afro hair a protected characteristic
The Labour MP Paulette Hamilton and singer Mel B are among leading Black Britons urging parliamentarians to make the UK the first western country to introduce a law to end afro hair discrimination.
The World Afro Day (WAD) campaign has written an open letter to MPs, calling on them to vote for the recognition and prevention of afro hair discrimination by updating the Equality Act 2010 to make afro hair a protected characteristic.
