Summary
Colorism is discrimination against people because they have a darker complexion. Someone with a lighter complexion is considered to be more beautiful or valuable than someone with dark skin. Research has found extensive evidence of discrimination based on skin color in criminal justice, business, the economy, housing, health care, media, and politics. In Pakistan, it is our young girls who face the brunt of this discrimination, compounded with class structures. This must change and change today
