Although the legislative framework for protection against discrimination in
Croatia covers a considerable number of grounds and could be described
as satisfactory, discrimination in society is present to a greater extent than
that registered in complaints received by the Office of the Ombudswoman.
Different treatment of a person or persons may involve several different legally
protected grounds, resulting in a more serious form of discrimination defined
under the Anti-Discrimination Act as multiple discrimination. The concept of
multiple discrimination is very complex and multi-layered. Thus, the focus of
this research was to conduct a survey on 761 respondents stratified by sex,
education, and age. The chi-square test examined the relationship between the
grounds of discrimination provided by respondents who declare themselves
victims of discrimination in the area of work and working conditions, in the area
of education and justice, and based on their sex, level of education, and age. The
results of the research show that more than half of the respondents experienced
some form of discrimination and that more than half of the respondents who
declare themselves victims of discrimination experienced some of the more
serious forms of discrimination.
