Article 10 – Multiple Discrimination or Disadvantage

1. The Signatory recognizes that discrimination on any grounds such as sex, race, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation is prohibited.

2. The Signatory further recognizes that despite this prohibition, many women and men suffer from multiple discrimination or disadvantage, including socio-economic disadvantage, which has a direct impact on their ability to exercise the other rights set out and referred to in this Charter.

3. The Signatory commits itself, across the range of its competences, to take all reasonable actions to combat the effects of multiple discrimination or disadvantage including:

• ensuring that the issues of multiple discrimination or disadvantage are addressed in its Equality Action Plan and gender assessments

• ensuring that issues arising from multiple discrimination or disadvantage are taken into account when undertaking actions or measures under the other articles in this Charter

• undertaking public information campaigns to combat stereotypes and to promote equal treatment for those women and men who may suffer multiple discrimination or disadvantage

• taking specific measures to address the particular needs of migrant women and men.
