Description
The project's objective is to perform comprehensive analysis of the available research and statistical data concerning discrimination and unequal treatment in Poland. It will lead to the creation of a database on the web portal EQUALITY.INFO and a report on the existing research, analyses and statistics in the field of discrimination, including multiple discrimination. There is a strong need to create a space for gathering information. The study of the available resources and information will be very useful for institutions working on equality issues and preventing discrimination, as well as watchdog organisations. The report will become a helpful tool for creating strategies and policies, as well as planning activities and projects focused on equal chances. The creation of the database will be preceded by the modernisation of the web portal in order to create a comprehensive, easily searchable source of knowledge on equality, diversity and preventing discrimination.
Summary of project results
"For general public, it is difficult to access the existing research, analyses and statistical data on discrimination, because they are scattered in various materials. The existing resources in this field should be gathered, organised and made widely available. The aim of the project was to create a database to gather the existing research, analyses and statistical data on discrimination. As a result of activities led under the project, within the modernised portal
www.rownosc.info a comprehensive database with a search engine was created which allows to easily search for various materials on discrimination. The project included an analysis of the research and statistics based on which the database was created. The database enables its users to search for materials using various criteria, e.g. different groups vulnerable to discrimination or different areas of discrimination (such as job market, healthcare, education). A report was also prepared describing availability and quality of the existing resources, and unsurveyed areas and phenomena were identified which are not properly described and documented. The publication is available online. Information on the portal
www.rownosc.info and its content were promoted in social media. Beneficiaries of the project are persons using the portal (approximately 10 000 persons a month)."
