Key findings
The report measures prejudice and discrimination faced by groups with protected characteristics (age, disability, race, sex, religion or belief, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, and gender reassignment).
The report findings show, inter alia:
• 42% of people in Britain had experienced some form in prejudice in the last year;
• Experience of prejudice was higher in minority groups, for example 70% of Muslims surveyed had experienced religion-based prejudice;
• Around a third of British adults surveyed felt that efforts to provide equal opportunities to immigrants (37%) and Muslims (33%) had gone “too far”.
