This is part of an EU-funded project GENDERACE which is being carried out in 6 European countries. The aim is to assess how the discrimination was experienced and to what extent support or other resources were available. We are particularly interested in finding out whether those who might suffer discrimination for more than one reason including race and/or gender (e.g. race&gender; race&sexual orientation; gender&religion), experience particular problems and/or whether changes to the law are needed. We would visit the interviewee at home or at another place he/she prefers and all information collected will remain strictly confidential. Due to ethical concerns we can’t pay interviewees but we can reimburse travelling expenses and lunch. More about the project can be found at http://genderace.ulb.ac.be/.
