Antidiskriminierungsgesetz

The Antidiskriminierungsgesetz, or Anti-Discrimination Act, is a German law aimed at preventing discrimination against individuals based on characteristics like race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, and age. Enacted in 2006, it ensures equal treatment in various areas, including employment, education, and housing. The law provides a framework for individuals who believe they have faced discrimination, allowing them to seek recourse and support. Its goal is to promote inclusivity and protect the rights of marginalized groups, fostering a more equitable society.
