The German Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency has launched an educational campaign on the topic of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG), focused mainly on working life and day-to-day business. Because : Discrimination is not only unfair, it’s also prohibited by law.
Katrin Leisch photographed the campaign with post production by RETOUCHED STUDIOS.
It is alarming that only 34 percent of the German population are aware of the legal situation, according to a study, and have heard of the Equal Treatment Act. The purpose of the Anti-Discrimination Agency’s educational campaign across Germany with videos and posters is to inform more people about their rights with regard to discrimination at the workplace, at the club, when looking for an apartment or employment.
“In Germany, we are against discrimination – which is why we have an Equal Treatment Act. Particularly in times in which hostility is on the rise, it is more important than ever to know legal ways to defend oneself against discrimination as well as how not to. The law only applies to working life and day-to-day business…” says Ferda Ataman, independent federal commissioner for anti-discrimination.
Put into force in Germany in 2006, the purpose of the AGG legislature is to prevent or stop discrimination on the grounds of race or ethnic origin, gender, religion or faith, disability, age or sexual orientation, both in the areas of working life and in parts of civil law.
