Protection against discrimination at HHN

What is discrimination?

Legally, it means the discrimination against people due to a protected feature without factual justification. 

Disadvantage

Feature worth protecting

Factual Justification

  • every form of bad treatment
  • people with different conditions are all treated equaly
According to the general  equal treament act:
  • ethnicity / origin
  • gender
  • religion / beliefs
  • disablity
  • age
  • sexual orientation
  • Harassment is never objectively justified
  • positive measures to compensate for cultural disadvantages are permitted, e.g. the exclusion of men from women's support programs.

For example: A student writes slow, but has to take an exam at the same time as everyone else.

For example: When muslim momen are beeing insulted because they are wearing a headscarf, this affects them due to their gender and beliefs.

For example: If a place at University is only awarded to people with very good language skills, this is a disadvantage, that is objectively justified.
