DISCRIMINATION
Roma, victims of multiple discrimination
Agency for Fundamental Rights of the European Union published its first report in early February on "multiple discrimination ;.
handicap, religion, creed, age, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic origin, being an immigrant ... This is the long list that the FRA was retained as ground concrete discrimination to a study published early February.
Based on face-to-face interviews with 23,500 people from an ethnic minority or immigrant, the survey reveals that people belonging to "visible" minorities such as Roma and those of African descent are more likely to suffer from multiple discrimination. The report highlights that gender and socioeconomic factors - including being a woman and have low incomes (lowest quartile) - amplify the frequency of multiple discrimination.
"Today" most European courts only take into account that a single ground for business. This means that it is more difficult for victims of multiple discrimination to submit their cases in court, expecting it to be granted to different types of discrimination they have experienced. The introduction of the concept of "multiple discrimination" in the legislation would help to achieve a better balance between law and complex experiences of discrimination that a person suffers everyday, "said Morten Kjaerumle director of the Fundamental Rights Agency .
