Anti-discrimination law

Article 14 of the Spanish Constitution states that “Spaniards are equal before the law and that they may not in any way be discriminated against on account of birth, race, sex, religion, opinion or any other condition or personal or social circumstance….Moreover, it enjoins the public authorities to promote conditions that ensure that the freedom and equality of individuals and of the groups that they form are real and effective; to remove obstacles that impede or hamper the fulfillment of such freedom and equality; and to facilitate the participation of all citizens in political, economic, cultural and social life (Article 9)…Discrimination on various grounds is generally combated by the same regulations, and the grounds of unlawful discrimination normally specified are a person’s origin, including racial or ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, religion or beliefs, political opinion, sexual orientation, trade union membership, social status or disability. National law has implemented the duty to provide reasonable accommodation for disabled people, both in general terms and specifically in the field of employment.” [1]
