Humaira Waseem

Humaira Waseem is a young mother who recently highlighted issues of discrimination in the housing market in Germany. She experienced repeated rejections when applying for apartment viewings under her Pakistani name, prompting her to test the system by using a more common German name, Julia Schneider, which resulted in immediate responses and invitations to view properties. Her experience has drawn attention to the biases that exist in rental applications based on names and ethnicity.
