About the
Exhibition

All people are equal! Sadly, however, this does not mean that everyone is treated equally in daily life.


In collaboration with the Gleichbehandlungsanwaltschaft (Advocacy of Equal Rights)

Since 1979, Austria has had a Law for Equal Rights, which is intended to ensure, at least in the world of work and business, that equal treatment and rights can be implemented and that discrimination is against the law.

30 years ago, the Gleichbehandlungsanwaltschaft (Advocacy of Equal Rights) was founded, an institution which acts as a contact point for victims of discrimination, advising and supporting them. Moreover, the Advocacy is involved politically in work for greater equality to make sure the law is improved and more comprehensive in its scope.
