Skyddas alla kvinnor från diskriminering i arbetslivet? En arbetsrättslig studie om multipel diskriminering ur ett intersektionellt perspektiv
(2023) HARH16 20222Department of Business Law
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Att skyddas från diskriminering är en mänsklig rättighet. Det gäller såväl i arbetslivet som i andra samhällsområden. Diskriminering kan ske på olika sätt, hänfört till olika diskrimineringsgrunder. Diskriminering som sker på grund av flera grunder kallas för multipel diskriminering. Den nationella lagstiftningen reglerar inte multipel diskriminering vilket har kritiserats på flera håll. En särskilt utsatt grupp i detta avseende är kvinnor med etnisk och religiös minioritetsbakgrund.
Syftet med studien är att undersöka om och i så fall hur dessa kvinnor skyddas från multipel diskriminering i arbetslivet. För att göra det undersöks och analyseras såväl Arbetsdomstolens rättspraxis på området som den bakomliggande diskrimineringsrätten....

Syftet med studien är att undersöka om och i så fall hur dessa kvinnor skyddas från multipel diskriminering i arbetslivet. För att göra det undersöks och analyseras såväl Arbetsdomstolens rättspraxis på området som den bakomliggande diskrimineringsrätten. Användningen av rättsdogmatisk metod kompletteras med det analytiska perspektivet intersektionalitet.
Genom den rättsliga utredningen identifieras olika områden där det finns ett behov av förbättring av diskrimineringsskyddet. Diskrimineringslagen uttrycker inte något skydd vid multipel diskriminering. Däremot nämns detta i förarbeten och behandlas delvis i praxis. Ur ett intersektionellt perspektiv är dock skyddet för multipel diskriminering otillräckligt. Sammantaget har det påvisats att det finns brister i det skydd som ges till dessa kvinnor.

- Being protected from discrimination is a human right. This applies both in the labour market and in other areas of society. Discrimination exists in a variety of forms, based on different grounds of discrimination. Discrimination that takes place on several grounds is called multiple discrimination. The national legislation does not regulate multiple discrimination, which has been criticized in several quarters. A particularly vulnerable group in this regard are women with ethnic and religious minority backgrounds.
The purpose of the study is to investigate if and if so, how these women are protected from multiple discrimination in working life. To do so, the Labor Court's case law in the area as well as the underlying discrimination law... (More) - Being protected from discrimination is a human right.

The use of legal dogmatic method is supplemented with the analytical perspective of intersectionality.
Through the legal investigation, various areas are identified where there is a need to improve discrimination protection. The Discrimination Act does not express any protection in case of multiple discrimination. On the other hand, this is mentioned in preparatory work and is partly dealt with in practice. From an intersectional perspective protection against multiple discrimination is insufficient. Overall, it has been shown that there are deficiencies in the protection given to these women. (Less)
