The Dutch Equal Treatment Commission (CGB) examines complaints about unequal treatment. It investigates whether the equal treatment law has been violated.
The CGB can submit only requests for an opinion, on one of the so-called discrimination grounds:
- sex
- race
- nationality
- religion/belief
- political conviction
- sexual orientation
- civil status
- part-time or full-time work
- temporary contracts
- disability or chronic illness
- age
Unequal treatment on these grounds is unlawful, in certain situations.
