About Us
Aim
The Trust was established by the States of Jersey on 3rd September 2004, with the following aim:
“To seek to eliminate discrimination on any ground including, but not limited to, grounds of colour, race, nationality or ethnic or national origins, gender or sexual orientation, disability or age, by promoting good relations between all members of society, and seeking to achieve equality of treatment and opportunity within our community.”
We advance our aim in a number of ways:
- Promoting legislative changes to enhance equality.
- Commissioning research in areas where discrimination arises and recommending measures to tackle issues highlighted.
- Encouraging and facilitating community partnerships which enhance social harmony.
- Public awareness and education initiatives on discrimination issues.
