A recent controversy has engulfed Ubisoft as news of a new training program exclusively for women and non-binary individuals sparked criticism. Legal expert Andrew Esquire has raised concerns about the legality of such segregation, arguing that it contradicts principles of equality.
Embracing inclusivity: Ubisoft’s stance on excluding men from its developer training initiative
Esquire highlighted how the program at Ubisoft may breach anti-discrimination laws, drawing parallels to a similar case involving Disney. He emphasized that men play a significant role in the gaming industry and excluding them from mentoring opportunities constitutes discrimination.
While Ubisoft claims the program is not an internship and does not guarantee employment, experts argue that this does not excuse discriminatory practices.
The possibility of legal action against Ubisoft over this issue remains uncertain. This is not the first time the company has faced controversy for its decisions in pursuit of “diversity.”
