Vulnerable
groups not informed about anti-discrimination legislation
This survey provides evidence that the groups most vulnerable to discrimination
in the EU remain uninformed about legislation forbidding discrimination against
people on the basis of their ethnicity. On average, 43% of respondents
(depending on the group and the area of discrimination) thought that no
anti-discrimination legislation existed, and a further 20% were unsure. This
demonstrates an urgent need to increase rights awareness amongst vulnerable
minorities.
