Anti-discrimination

You have experienced discrimination?

The anti-discrimination office at pro familia in Freiburg advises you on discrimination. The consultation takes place in a protected place. If you want to become active, the consultants of the Anti-Discrimination Bureau will assist you with interventions such as complaint letters, conversations and by transferring them to lawyers that you can legally represent. You can also transfer the consultants to specific departments. Consultations are consistent and also possible by phone or video.

You can contact them for advice here: https://adbuero-fr.de/contact/

The Advisory Committee: 

Since January 2021, the consultancy office of pro familia Lörrach has been a local advisory centre funded by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Health and Integration of the State of Baden-Württemberg. We therefore complement the offer of the Freiburg Anti-Discrimination Bureau, which is also located at pro familia, in Baden-Württemberg in rural areas.

By the end of 2025, we offer workshops and lectures in the Lörrach County on anti-discrimination to raise awareness among various groups of multipliers, organisations and authorities.

What is discrimination?

Discrimination is a disadvantage in which people are treated unequally due to actual or attributed characteristics, although there is no justified reason for this behaviour. The General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) identifies as characteristics of discrimination against ethnic origin, gender, religion or Worldview, disability, age or sexual identity.

Discrimination can occur in various areas of everyday life. In social life, it expresses itself, for example, by limitations in the participation in public events, in training, professional practice or its remuneration. Here the action of an organisation, e.g. the employment office, is responsible for discrimination. At the private level, discrimination is expressed, for example, by the fact that a person does not pay attention to another person because of one or more features, excludes him from the group or treats him in a declining manner.
