For Diversity. Against Discrimination.

The ‘For Diversity. Against Discrimination.’ information campaign is run by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities and is funded through PROGRESS, the EU's employment and social solidarity programme.

The campaign aims to raise awareness of discrimination and increase understanding of the EU laws which exist to protect us all. It also strives to generate debate on the themes of diversity and discrimination and in particular on how people in Europe stand to gain from greater equality.

One of the campaigns initatives, the ‘For Diversity. Against Discrimination.’ Journalist Award honours online and print journalists in the EU who, through their work, contribute to a better public understanding of the benefits of diversity and the fight against discrimination.
