Discrimination: attitudes and experience in Northern Ireland
Every three years the Equality Commission for NI carries out an equality awareness survey which looks at trends in public attitudes towards particular groups in society; personal experiences of discrimination and knowledge of rights and protections. It considers who is most likely to express negative feelings and who is most likely to be the target of their prejudice. The survey involved over 1000 face to face interviews with members of the public across Northern Ireland conducted during September 2011. The sample was stratified by age, gender, religion, social class and geography.
The survey findings were launched at Titanic, Belfast, on 13 June 2012. To read more about the survery please click here to link to the relevant page on the Equality Commission website.
