Anti-discrimination office

Diese Information in Deutsch

We support and provide advice to people who feel that their rights granted by the Upper Austrian anti-discrimination law were violated.

The Upper Austrian anti-discrimination law (Oö. ADG) prohibits the discrimination or harassment of persons based on

• their ethnic background
• their religion
• their beliefs
• a disability
• their age
• their gender
• their sexual orientation

in all matters that are subject to the legislative competence of the Upper Austrian government.

Consultation of the anti-discrimination office is free of charge, confidential and anonymous if desired.

The Upper Austrian anti-discrimination law protects everyone who takes steps against discrimination or harassment by prohibiting any disadvantage that results from that action (prohibition of victimisation).
