#Ethiopian #Israeli Women Suffer Racism, Discrimination at Work, Study Finds
'I was certain I was coming to someone non-Ethiopian,' an Ethiopian dental hygienist recalls one of her patients telling her. Many of the women are met with prejudice, racism, discrimination and mistrust on the part of Israeli employers.
The integration of Ethiopian Israeli women into the job market faces multiple obstacles, the study concluded. Many of the women's entry point is already low – they suffer from educational inequality and thus acquire fewer occupational skills. Moreover, they are less acquainted with the job market, and their social networks are less likely to affect their hiring.
