Eurobarometer Report on Discrimination

The report presents results from a survey conducted in the 25 EU member states and the two acceeding countries Bulgaria and Romania in June and July 2006 and was published in 2007.

Despite many efforts against discrimination and unequal treatment, discrimination still exists and further efforts are needed to enhance equality and prevent people from being discriminated against.

This report focuses on six forms of discrimination: discrimination based on gender, ethnic origin, religion or beliefs, age, disability and sexual orientation. It analyses views about equal opportunities in employment and about combating discrimination, awareness of anti-discrimination laws and regulations, and it gives a good comparative overview on the extent of the above mentioned six forms of discrimination in all 27 member states.
