About this project
<p>The <strong>White Paper on Multiple and Intersectional Discrimination project</strong> aims to combine knowledge from the fields of law, economics and social anthropology, focusing on discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity, ethnic or racial origin, and disability, as well as their intersections, and also taking into account their socioeconomic consequences. The project will achieve the production and publication of a White Paper that details the research conducted and that includes a proposal of a new conceptual anti-discrimination framework, including new legislation and institutional reform (and complemented by a draft of a new anti-discrimination law).</p>
Bilateral cooperation results
Collaboration with anti-discrimination models from other countries, especially Norway, through the partnership with Egalia—the project partner—was crucial for the creation and release of the White Paper. This exchange of knowledge and best practices enriched the project in Portugal and encouraged ongoing, constructive dialogue between the countries. Analyzing Norwegian anti-discrimination models helped develop a stronger framework for Portugal, showing that international cooperation can lead to significant progress in national policies.
