Community Conversations- Time for Recognition of Socio- Economic Status in our Equality Legislation

See below a new film from ATD Ireland on the importance of adding a new 10th ground to the equality legislation to protect people from socio- economic discrimination. This film from the perspective of those with lived experience of discrimination, ATD Ireland Community Activists, academics and those working in the community and voluntary sector including members of the addthe10th alliance. For several years ATD Ireland has been in dialogue with the department of children, equality, disability, integration and youth. This film aims to function as a call to action to finally get this piece of legislation over the line. #addthe10th
