Equinet, European Network of Equality Bodies
Equinet, European Network of Equality Bodies was set up in 2007 as a membership organisation for national equality bodies. These public organisations are tasked to assist victims of discrimination, monitor and report on discrimination issues, and promote equality. They are legally required to do so in relation to one, some, or all of the grounds of discrimination covered by European Union (EU) law – gender, race and ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief, and disability. MISSION Equinet promotes equality in Europe by supporting Equality Bodies to be independent and effective catalysts for more equal societies, and delivers its mission in a way that embodies and promotes its values, namely: Equality, Respect, Dignity, Solidarity, Diversity, Inclusion, Transparency, Participation, Innovation, Justice, Protection. VISION Our vision of an equal society is one where equality is a reality for everyone, diversity is valued, and all forms of discrimination have been eliminated.
