[Book launch] EU anti-discrimination law beyond gender

On 21 February, the Asser Institute, in cooperation with the Rule of Law Research Programme, Erasmus School of Law, hosts the book launch of "EU Anti-Discrimination Law Beyond Gender", edited by Dr Uladzislau Belavusau and Prof. Kristin Henrard.

In the book, the editors, in cooperation with fifteen leading scholars, assess the rise, successes, and pitfalls of EU anti-discrimination law since 2000. They cover issue areas of race and ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and age. Prof. Koen Lenaerts, President of the Court of Justice of the EU, stresses that “the book is a hugely valuable contribution to the existing literature on EU anti-discrimination law and an outstanding piece of scholarly work, providing thought-provoking insights to the way in which the principle of equality applies to race and ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age and disability”. The volume is available to order here.
