EUniWell Social Talks: The roles and case law of EU courts in the field of violence against women
All people have the right to equal treatment and to not be discriminated against because of gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or age. Questions of discrimination are central to many educational programs and are relevant for many disciplines.
Swedish legislation on discrimination is closely linked to European legislation and follows EU directives and regulations. Hence, in the area of discrimination, we have much in common with other European countries and much to learn from them.
During fall 2024 and spring 2025 the EUniWell Arena for Social Equality and Wellbeing will launch a series of seminars, Social Talks, on the theme "Fighting discrimination in Europe". Experts from universities in the EUniWell strategic co-operation (European University for Wellbeing) will address the grounds of discrimination and discuss anti-discrimination actions in different sectors.
Lecturer: Isabel Lirola Delgado, Professor of International Public Law at the University of Santiago de Compostela, where she teaches international and European law.
