Is geographical discrimination an employment discrimination prohibited by law?

Hello friends, everyone has equal employment rights. It seems a simple recruitment requirement, which implies various employment discrimination.

For example, Xiaoyan saw a company recruiting people on a job search website, so she submitted her resume and applied for the positions of "Legal Affairs" and "Assistant to the Chairman" of the company.

Later, I received a reply from the company ... saying that she was not suitable for the above two positions, and only "Henan native" was written in the column of unsuitable reasons. Xiaoyan was very angry, thinking that the company's behavior was employment discrimination and violated relevant laws and regulations, and sued the company to the people's court. Recently, the court heard the case in court ... and sentenced the defendant, the recruitment company, to compensate mental damage compensation for 9 yuan and 1 yuan for notarization and rights protection, and made an oral apology, and made a written apology to Xiaoyan in the Legal Daily. Employment discrimination refers to any violation of workers' equal rights by taking different measures, such as excluding or giving preferential treatment, based on race, skin color, religion, political opinions, nationality, social background, gender, household registration, disability or physical health, age, height, language, etc., without legal purposes and reasons.

The main discrimination encountered by workers in China in the process of employment is as follows:

1. The most serious discrimination in urban and rural household registration employment in China is the existing household registration system, because it is related to the interests of groups.

it mainly includes: ① discrimination against rural hukou. Rural workers are widely treated unfairly in urban employment. Farmers are often called "country people" and are rejected by "urban hukou".

2. Gender discrimination Although the state has promulgated a series of laws and regulations on the equality between men and women in employment and the protection of women's rights and interests, including the Labor Law, the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests, and the Special Provisions on Labor Protection for Female Workers, etc., all of which emphasize that women enjoy equal employment rights with men … but there is still serious gender discrimination in the field of employment.

3. Age discrimination Due to the large population in China, the employment structure tends to be younger. Some employers set a nearly harsh age limit when recruiting, excluding a large number of older job seekers. More and more enterprises limit the age of employees to under 35 when recruiting employees.

4. Height discrimination against height is beyond human control, mostly determined by genetic factors. However, some employers often like to make rigid regulations on the height of job seekers in recruitment announcements, and those who fail to get the height requirements … often fail in the first round of resume screening.

The discrimination in this case is geographical discrimination. Regional discrimination refers to a kind of prejudice psychology of "treating people differently" based on regional differences. Due to the diversity of cultures in different regions and the imbalance of economic development in different regions, some people have special views on people and things in a certain place. This kind of regional discrimination on the Internet is even more obvious ... Due to the development of new media, many people, based on news events in a certain place,
