Bigotry of Birth
CICI is focused on challenging the attitudes that impact upon people and groups adversely as a result of how nature has created them. When the Equality strands are scrutinized it is evident that they are associated with aspects of identity that are out with the control of the individual.We cannot control how nature creates us, yet sadly through the Bigotry of Birth, prejudices exist towards individuals and groups. In theory anyone can alter their religion or belief, however most are brought up with the religion, faith or belief that parents or guardians have so it offers a reasoning as to why it is included within Birth Bigotry.
There is seldom a clear rationale for discrimination and our programmes aim to raise awareness regarding what factors give rise to discrimination and intolerance in society.
Their is no logic behind such attitudes, at CICI this reality is the cornerstone of our education programme.
