Webinar: Gender Discrimination: what is it, how to recognise it and how to fight it

Tuesday, 8 March 2022 | 9,30 a.m.

Speaker: Aldo Palumbo, Partner – Toffoletto De Luca Tamajo

*Italian-language webinar

The law, at various levels (Constitutional, European Union, and those promulagated by the Italian Parliament), favours the removal of any obstacles to equality between citizens and combats all forms of discrimination, including gender discrimination. However, there is no general obligation in Italy regarding equal treatment.  

During the webinar, we’ll take a look at the different forms of discrimination and treatment in the work place, the risks for employers when this discrimination occurs and the positive actions that can be done to create an inclusive environment.
