This is the second in a series of three videos on discrimination – What is discrimination, Who to report discrimination to, and What to do if you witness discrimination or harassment produced by Human Rights House Zagreb within the Butterfly Effect project. The videos are subtitled in English.
The series of three videos was produced within the social media campaign of the Butterfly Effect.
The content is intended for youth, but also parents, teachers and anyone who wants to make a step towards dismantling their own prejudices, offer and receive help, and learn how to actively contribute to building an environment where there are no conditions for discrimination to thrive.
Get informed, get empowered, and contribute to building a more just and solidary society!
Who to report discrimination to
Discrimination can take on various forms and is not always simple to recognize. Individuals can behave in a discriminatory manner, but a measure, a rule or a system can also be discriminatory. Discrimination can be direct or indirect, and harassment based on protected characteristics, as well as sexual harassment and segregation, are also considered discrimination.
