Direkt diskriminering

Direct discrimination (direkt diskriminering) means that someone is disadvantaged in a comparable situation because of a protected characteristic. It means a person is treated worse than someone else would have been treated, linked to for example sex, age or origin. A citizen can encounter the term in working life or in dealings with public services, and it is prohibited by law.
