The Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty is a legal obligation requiring public bodies to "take into account the need to prevent discrimination, to promote equal opportunities and treatment of its staff and service users, and to protect the human rights of its members, of the staff and service users (Section 42 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act, 2014). It represents a fundamental strength for the implementation of strategies and practices to fight discrimination.
This good practice has been drafted in connection with the project ITACA - Italian Cities Against Discrimination (n. 963374), co-funded by the REC Programme of the European Commission and implemented by ICEI together with the Municipality of Reggio Emilia, the Municipality of Modena, Mondinsieme Foundation and ISMU Foundation.
