Discrimination is not easy to recognize. There are many situations in which individuals do not have an equal position or equal opportunities and believe they should and yet these situations are not considered to be discrimination.<\/p>

If a person believes that he\/she does not have an equal position or equal opportunities as others due to his\/her affiliation to an ethnic minority or his\/her age, faith, trade union membership, for being a woman or homosexual or a person with a disability, he\/she should turn to the Office of the Ombudsman or to one of the specialized ombuds and they will investigate whether what this persons is experiencing or has experienced is against the law.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Anyone, including legal persons,\u00a0 who believes they have been discriminated against may lodge a discrimination complaint with the Ombudswoman according to the procedure described above. Given the fact that special Ombudspersons also deal with discrimination cases, prior to lodging his\/her complaint a person may seek advice to which body to turn. The Ombudswoman shall forward complaints to the special Ombudspersons when the complaints are in their competence:<\/p>

\u2013 in case of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression or family or marital status to the Ombudswoman for Gender Equality (http:\/\/www.prs.hr<\/a>)<\/p>

\u2013 in case of discrimination based on disability to the Ombudswoman for Persons with Disabilities (http:\/\/www.posi.hr<\/a>)<\/p>

\u2013 in case of discrimination of children to the Ombudswoman for Children (http:\/\/www.dijete.hr<\/a>).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You can help a person who suspects that he\/she is being discriminated against. First, you can advise them to contact the Ombudswoman and to send in a case description together with the relevant documentation. You can do it on their behalf as well, but only after having obtained their consent first.<\/p>

If a person is afraid and does not want his\/her identity to be known he\/she can contact the Office of the Ombudsman anonymously. The Ombudswoman will nonetheless take the necessary steps to prevent discrimination.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A person who has not experienced discrimination him-\/herself but has witnessed the discrimination of another person and has the courage to report it is protected by the Anti-discrimination Act. The Act prohibits placing such a person in a less favorable position. This, for example, means that such a person cannot be made redundant or skipped in career advancement for which he\/ she meets the criteria on the grounds of his\/her support for an employee that has experienced discrimination.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As in other cases, the Ombudswoman conducts an investigation procedure. If she establishes suspicion of discrimination she can issue a warning or a recommendation to a person, an institution, a business or a company which discriminated against the claimant. She can also inform the claimant on how to proceed in order to protect himself\/herself from discrimination (e.g. advise the client to instigate legal proceedings).<\/p>

However, if the Ombudswoman is contacted by a person who has already instigated legal proceedings pertaining to the case, she cannot investigate whether discrimination took place or not. This person can nonetheless turn to the Ombudswoman and request for her to join in with him\/her in the court case as an intervener.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Ombudswoman can:<\/p>

a) Notify the claimant that no discrimination has occurred and\/or direct her\/him to a competent body.<\/p>

b) In cases when a person claims discrimination occurred and the Ombudswoman finds no suspicion of discrimination but rather elements of the breach of the claimant\u2019s constitutional or statutory rights, she can handle a complaint within her competences as the Ombudsman in line with the Ombudsman Act and take action aimed at protecting the claimant\u2019s rights.<\/p>

c) In cases of established suspicion of discrimination the Ombudswoman can, for example:<\/p>

\u2013 advise a client regarding the possible legal action,<\/p>

\u2013 issue a recommendation or a warning to an institution, a person or a company which discriminate against the claimant and instruct them on how to act in order to avoid discrimination in the future,<\/p>

\u2013 in certain cases the Ombudswoman can instigate court proceedings\/press charges against the perpetrator of discrimination,<\/p>

\u2013 can propose changes to discriminatory legislation or regulations.<\/p>

d) Act as a third-party intervener in court proceedings on behalf of the complainant.<\/p>

e) Conduct alternative dispute resolution (mediation) upon the complainant\u2019s request.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
