Discrimination occurs in many places across society. It happens at work. It occurs in the housing market. Healthcare settings are also affected. The anti-discrimination office helps people in these situations.
Rising inquiries reveal two important things. First, discrimination in Germany may be increasing. Second, more people know their rights. Increasingly, people seek help actively. This is an important sign.
This news matters significantly for the LGBTQ+ community. Trans and non-binary persons frequently report discrimination. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are also affected. They experience disadvantage in many areas of life.
