The study deals with diversity and anti-discrimination in the federal administration using the example of the BMFSFJ. The aim of the project was to comprehensively survey diversity and how it is dealt with in the day-to-day work of a top federal authority along various diversity dimensions.

Civil society projects make a decisive contribution to shaping diversity and reducing discrimination. In annual focus reports, we show which approaches work well and how the projects can be supported even better.

Discrimination prevents participation. Our analysis shows: Organisational development that is critical of discrimination must be promoted for schools, youth welfare services and social work. This means: more diversity organisation and competence in dealing with racism, anti-Semitism and queer hostility.
