The Human Rights Watch has revealed instances of gender discrimination in several Chinese technology giants’ job ads.
The report claimed that Alibaba described women as ‘late night benefits’ and ‘goddesses in the heart of employees’, while some other job ads sexually objectified women. Further, another job ad for women specified height, age, ‘trim figure’ and ‘aesthetically pleasing’ as requirements.
A report said that “Sexual objectification of women — treating women as a mere object of sexual desire — is prevalent in Chinese job advertising”.
