Over the past five years, more than 12% of the cases handled by Unia following reports in the health and personal care sector concerned so-called racial criteria. These criteria form the third most frequent reason for filing a report in this sector, just after disability and state of health.
The results of the 'Equality Data' project showed that there is a lack of data on racial inequality and discrimination in healthcare in Belgium.
What are the objectives of this research?
- Address the lack of data on racial inequalities and discrimination in healthcare
- Support the healthcare sector and policymakers in the implementation of evidence-based policy for combating discrimination and racial inequalities in the healthcare sector.
- Propose recommendations for the fight against racial discrimination in healthcare.
