City of Berlin passes anti-discrimination law
By EUobserver
Berlin became the first German state to pass its own anti-discrimination law which explicitly bars public authorities — including police and public schools — from discriminating based on background, skin colour, gender, religion, physical or mental disability, worldview, age and sexual identity, Deutsche Welle writes. People can also not be discriminated against based on a lack of German language skills, a chronic illness, or on their income, education or occupation.
