What is discrimination?

 
 
Discrimination implies applying a different treatment towards two or more people who are in identical situations or on the contrary – treating identically some people who are in different situations if such treatment has no objective justification.

For a treatment to be considereddiscriminatory, it has to be based on one of the criteria protected by law, specifically: race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, language, religion or beliefs, sex, age, opinion, political affiliation or any other similar criterion.
