Measuring non-discrimination and equality

On 26 January, FRA gave a presentation on measuring non-discrimination and equality through surveys at a meeting of the Praia Group Task Team on Non-Discrimination and Equality.

FRA spoke about the agency’s general population Fundamental Rights Survey, which collects data on non-discrimination and equality. It also talked about its extensive experience in surveys focusing on various minority populations.

The Praia Group on Governance Statistics is one of the city groups established by the UN Statistical Commission.

The team provides advice to UN member states on measuring non-discrimination and equality. This is based on the Group’s Handbook on Governance Statistics, which was endorsed by the UN Statistical Commission in 2020.
