ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 Impact of Employment/EqualityDirectives Patricia Prendiville ILGA-Europe

ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 ILGA-Europe 10 years European Region of ILGA Working on creating equality for lgbt people throughout Europe – 46 countries. Specifically funded by Community Action Programme to support implementation of Employment Directive which prohibits discrimination on ground of sexual orientation in work/training

ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 Agree with initial statement in ENAR’s paper – the directives as written are useful, contributed to debate and dialogue and give an opportunity The Directive (for ILGA-Europe) addressed a key area of life – work, for lgbt people which was greeted very positively.

ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 But…. Gaps exposed very quickly in the area of transgender people, the transposition and the implementation of the directive. Court cases had to be taken It raised awareness of discrimination, of the need for on-going work and of the exclusions in the directive Religious ethos, national laws on marriage/partnership means many of the benefits in employment are not available to same-sex partners

ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 The lack of protection in other areas of life – housing, insurance, mortgages, services, goods, social and healthcare, education Raised expectations that couldn’t be met because of the limitations. Cann’t have non-discrimination without public awareness and social attitudes changes or without political will

ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 What has ILGA-Europe been doing? Drafting of a Shadow Directive Lobbying to have similar protections as ‘Race Directive” Brining the gaps and anomalies to public notice at national and EU levels Supporting individuals to take cases Awareness raising, Work with social partners

ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 Working to increase the thinking on: mainstreaming of equality, multiple discrimination the interconnections between human rights, equality and non-discrimination Connections between hate crime, hate speech, discrimination and inequality/denial of human rights

ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 Issues still current…. Institutionalised homophobia Heteronormativity – inb all areas of life – health, education, family, care, families, immigration, asylum, tax provision, social security provision Need for equality mainstreaming – in laws, regulations, administrative procedures, policies, positive duties

ILGA-Europe. ENAR - Implementation to Equality. October, 2006 Hierarchy of protections Indirect Discrimination Ideology of gender, family and society.
