Cardiff woman wins £400k in DWP race discrimination row
Anne Giwa-Amu, who is Nigerian and Welsh, won her claim against the government department
She was the only non-white recruit and only trainee over the age of 50 in her cohort, according to documents from Cardiff Magistrates' Court seen by BBC News. "It comes as a relief after what has been a harrowing experience for three years," Ms Giwa-Amu told the BBC. Another had further humiliated and discriminated against Ms Giwa-Amu by loudly laughing and telling her cohort he had"touched her bum".
She had been living off £55 a week and later had no money for food after her final pay cheque was withheld."Management at the DWP are paying lip service to the equality legislation," she said."By protecting offenders, they are promoting a culture of racism."
