Equality bodies are independent statutory bodies established to promote the principle of equal treatment on various grounds. This report found 14 multi-mandate bodies in 14 countries. In terms of their functions, 19 of the 43 equality bodies were identified as having competences combining all or part of the three equality body functions of promotion and prevention; support and litigation; and decision-making. Sixteen equality bodies have the more traditional combination of all or part of the promotion and prevention function and the support and litigation function, while four equality bodies have only a decision-making function. A total of 43 equality bodies in 31 countries (EU Member States and EFTA countries) were examined for this report.
