Programma

We live in an evolving social and legal context. We grow, study and work in environments which become more and more multi-ethnic, multicultural and multi religious. This requires, from all of us, a greater focus and awareness of the principles that guide the law of anti-discrimination within the European Union. In fact we are fascinated by the principle of equality to the point to consider it and heritage now completely acquired. This attitude, however, can hide some pitfalls since, being in constant evolution, the more it is analyzed and investigated, the more, this principle, appears to elude us. Then we will discover, certainly not without disappointment, that also equal treatments can generate inequality and, sometimes, unequal behaviors may be needed to achieve a concrete equality. We will address the problem by analyzing, in class, some of the most significant decisions of the Court of Justice thus trying to identify the evolution of European case law on the matter. This is to facilitate not only our social relations but also our working relationships with colleagues, with the staff entrusted to us and towards the companies in which we work. We will analyze the main forms of discrimination and, in detail, sexual discrimination even in its so-called critical elements such as the state of pregnancy, gender identity and sexual orientation. This class is in fact structured to provide participants with practical tools to recognize and prevent discriminatory behaviors that could expose themselves and the companies they work for to legal action for compensation. Previous experience and knowledge of legal matters is not mandatory.
