Training Manual On Equality Data Collection And Analysis To Prevent And Address Systemic Discrimination eBook

Ensuring equality, valuing diversity, fostering meaningful interaction and facilitating active citizenship and participation

Systemic discrimination is not immediately visible and is rarely the result of specific intent. Yet, it drives entrenched disadvantage and inequality for many groups in society. As this is a complex phenomenon to identify, the collection and analysis of equality data are indispensable.

Resulting from the collaborative work of local, regional and national authorities, this training manual addresses the need to combat and prevent systemic discrimination by focusing on data collection and processing.

This training manual will assist stakeholders in acquiring the necessary skills to develop suitable structures and systems, at all levels of governance, to effectively address systemic discrimination and drive the change needed.

This manual specifically draws from the work on systemic discrimination undertaken by the Intercultural Cities (ICC) Programme of the Council of Europe.

Each module of the manual includes material on approaches to collecting and analysing equality data, alongside "food-forthought" exercises, quizzes, checklists and reference documents. It also features a glossary of key intercultural terms as an appendix.
