Multiple Discrimination in the context of the EU Anti-Discrimination Law

Most people have multiple identities, which can intersect. However, discrimination on more grounds is invisible opposite to the most dominant single axis approach. In diverse societies, multiple discrimination occurs on everyday basis. Multiple discrimination is still not recognized as a “equal” ground of discrimination in the European legislation nor in the case law of the European Court on Human Rights, neither Court of Justice of the European Union. National courts are also reluctant to recognize cases of multiple discrimination. Usually, courts recognize only on legitimate ground (e.g. either sex or race) or treat discrimination as additive, not intersectional. The aim of this paper is to explore why courts usually apply the single axis approach and neglect multiple discrimination experiences of women.
