Have you been subjected to discrimination?<\/h1>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Discrimination means that someone is treated less favorably than others due to factors such as gender<\/a>, age, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. It can occur in the workplace, at school, in healthcare, or in other areas of society. Discrimination is illegal in Sweden and can happen both directly and indirectly. Recognizing the signs is important so you can take action against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct<\/strong>
Direct discrimination occurs when someone is treated worse than others because of a violation against one of the grounds of discrimination. For example, if a woman is denied employment because she’s pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indirect<\/strong>
Indirect discrimination happens when a rule, criterion, or practice that appears neutral, in practice disadvantages any groups of people protected under the Swedish Discrimination Act. For instance, if a company requires all employees to work full-time, it may disadvantage individuals with disabilities who can only work part-time. Or if a healthcare center, intended to serve everyone, lacks a ramp at the entrance, preventing wheelchair users from accessing the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
