Reliable and comparable equality data is critical to assess the situation of minority individuals and effectively tackle inequalities.
I encourage EU countries to make use of this new guidance note on the collection & use of data on #EU4LGBTIQ equality.

We launched #AccessibleEU - a flagship initiative of the #EUDisabilityRights strategy.
AccessibleEU will bring together experts and professionals to promote accessibility across the EU, and enable persons with disabilities to fully participate in society.

The European Accessibility Act is a key step towards a #UnionOfEquality as it breaks down barriers for persons with disabilities.
In two years’ time, companies will have to ensure all products and services covered by this Act are accessible.

Today, we celebrate the 23rd anniversary of the adoption of the #RacialEqualityDirective, one of the first EU directives prohibiting discrimination based on race/ethnicity.
While discrimination persists, we continue to strengthen legal protections as we build a #UnionOfEquality.
