A new publication has been released by the European Network of Legal Experts in the field of non-discrimination, entitled ‘La discrimination dans le logement’. The authors Julie Ringelheim and Nicolas Bernard address complex issues related to discrimination in the field of housing, aiming at providing a comprehensive analysis of the trends and patterns of discrimination occurring in this field, against the backdrop of relevant EU law as well as European and international human rights law. Thus, the report examines general situations of discrimination related to the offer, the attribution and occupation of different types of housing, as well as particularly complex issues such as housing for the Roma and Traveller communities and ensuring accessible housing for persons with disabilities. Available in French only.

A new publication has been released by the European Network of Legal Experts in the field of non-discrimination. The report ‘Discrimination against trans and intersex people on the grounds of sex, gender identity and gender expression’ authored by Silvan Agius and Christa Tobler addresses complex issues related to discrimination on the grounds of gender identity and gender expression, as well as discrimination on grounds of sex vis-à-vis intersex people. The report also clarifies the definitions used in the context of trans discrimination, and the terms used by the community to represent the diversity within it. This study highlights the obstacles and negative attitudes faced by this community and the difficulties with regard to legal recognition and rights. The report also extensively examines the influence of EU law, including case law, on trans discrimination and provides case studies of national legislation and case-law on gender identity and gender expression discrimination of some Member States where there are promising approaches which can and should serve as models for others to follow. The report is also available in German and French.

Various Comparative Analysis and Thematic Reports are published by the European Commission which are drafted by the European Network of Independent Legal Experts in the non-discrimination field, in order to address specific issues of concern. They are available in English, French and German and can be ordered through the EU Bookshop. For larger orders (i.e. seminars etc.) please contact the Publication Office.
