It analyses how the law in many European countries deals with cases of multiple discrimination. It will discuss the GendeRace Project, a project which aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of racial discrimination laws in a gender perspective, and some of its findings. This paper will also examine some alternative ways of addressing multiple discrimination in law and will give examples of good practice, some of which are based on the findings of the GenderRace project. The focus of the lessons that can be learned from these examples will be on the European Union level.

One of the several aims of gender mainstreaming is to ensure that the goal of a policy, project, programme, action or work practice takes into consideration the needs of women and men, boys and girls, and that the policy addresses these needs.

It belongs to the basic and universally recognised civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Infringement of such rights hinders societies from achieving the goals and benefits of development. The prohibition to discriminate on a number of grounds is well ingrained in Maltese Legislation, including Chapter IV - Fundamental Rights and Freedoms of the Individual, of the Maltese Constitution, which arches over all other legislation.
