The survey is aimed at getting facts and data on these questions:
- Where do people in Germany experience discrimination?
- How do they deal with it?
- Which types of support do they use, which ones do they lack?
- What are the consequences of discrimination?
The survey thereby ties onto the Diskriminierungserfahrungen in Deutschland (Discrimination Experiences in Germany) study from 2017. Back then, over 17,000 people took part. The Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency’s first major survey on discrimination made clear, for instance, to what extent discrimination can impact opportunities in the labour market. This insight was taken up by policymakers, public authorities and counselling centres.
The new results are to provide a current and informed basis to develop and fine-tune targeted measures against discrimination. The aim is to achieve tangible improvements in everyone’s lives.
