Equality Bodies

Equinet develops co-operation and facilitates information exchange between Equality Bodies across Europe to support the uniform implementation of EU anti-discrimination law and the levelling-up of legal protection for victims of discrimination.

The aim of Equinet is to help Equality Bodies fulfil their mandates by establishing a sustainable network and resource base for the exchange of legal expertise, enforcement strategies, training and best practice as well as a platform for dialogue with the European institutions.

Equinet brings together 30 organisations from 23 European countries, including two observer equality bodies and MPG, the international partner. The lead organisation is the Dutch Equal Treatment Commission. Funding is provided by the European Commission under the European Community Action Programme to combat discrimination. In addition to being a partner organisation, MPG acts as Equinet's Secretariat.
