The Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) has been appointed the Danish national Equal Treatment Body for ethnic equal treatment and gender. This means that DIHR is to promote the equal treatment of all persons irrespective of gender, racial or ethnic origin while making efforts to provide effective protection against discrimination.
The principle of equal treatment and non-discrimination is a cornerstone of the human rights promotion activities. In its work, DIHR frequently applies the horizontal approach. In practice, this means that the approach of DIHR spans across all grounds of discrimination, taking into account gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion and faith, ethnicity and race.
