Calls for sexist workplace dress codes to be banned
Women workers have been told to dye their hair blonde, wear revealing outfits and constantly reapply make-up, a report into workplace dress codes has found.
The report was triggered by a petition started by Nicola Thorp who joined us on the sofa today after she was sent home from work for refusing to wear high heels. Now there's strong calls for the Government to take urgent action to improve the effectiveness of that law.
In response to being told women should look more professional in a workplace, Nicola said: "If your part includes wearing lipstick, wearing heels, which change your physicality, they were designed to make women look sexier not more professional."
