Currently, EU law only protects these groups against discrimination in employment and occupation, but not in other areas. The Youth Forum urges the EU Member States to show a true commitment to equality by finally adopting an EU law on equal treatment. To coincide with a high-level event on non-discrimination and equality taking place today and tomorrow in Rome, the Youth Forum published the results a survey on multiple discrimination affecting young people in Europe. This survey showed that 53.8% of respondents experienced discrimination in the field of #education and 15% of respondents mentioned gender was grounds for discrimination in education. The Youth Forum is urging EU governments to show leadership on #equality and fight for #equalrights!
