Discrimination in Carinthia: voices against prejudices rise

In Carinthia, the equal treatment lawyer has initiated a decisive step in order to combat discrimination. This is done by introducing lectures and legal advice to Arabic, which aim to meet the needs of Arabic -speaking migrants. Susanne Prisching, the head of the equal treatment attorney in Carinthia and Styria, explains that discrimination often occurs due to visibility in terms of characteristics such as skin color, religion or language. These disadvantages can be shown in different areas of life, for example when looking for an apartment or in professional life.

The decision to offer information and support in Arabic is particularly important because many migrants have difficulty understanding their rights and opportunities in a foreign country. "We would like to reduce barriers and make sure that all people in Carinthia have access to the necessary information," adds Prisching.

a two -week program

The lectures should take place in a two -week rhythm and cover topics such as anti -discrimination law, the constitution and social subsidies in Austria. The specific challenges with which Arabic -speaking migrants are confronted are also dealt with. Participation is free of charge and is aimed at both adults and young people to reach a wide audience.

The project is considered urgently needed, especially against the background that many people from the Arab world live in Carinthia, who often have to fight with prejudices and language barriers. "We want people to know where they can find help when they are discriminated against," emphasizes Prisching.

This important initiative is part of the efforts to promote integration and to enable respectful coexistence. Especially at a time when cultural diversity gains importance, it is essential that all voices belong and respected. The lectures are held in suitable premises that offer both anonymous access and the possibility for personal conversations to strengthen the trust of the participants.

For more information about the upcoming events, interested parties can ask the equal treatment lawyer to find out the exact dates and topics. "We hope that many people make use of this offer," said Prisching. The focus is on creating an inclusive society in which everyone has the same opportunities and discrimination has no place.
