Netherlands Institute for Human Rights — discrimination + fundamental rights

The Netherlands Institute for Human Rights is the Dutch national human rights institute. When here? For discrimination (ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age) — especially in employment, education, healthcare, housing, or service provision. Privacy overlap: profiling resulting in discrimination (credit refusal based on postal code/ethnicity, algorithmic job-application selection, "predictive policing"), use of special category data (Art. 9 GDPR) in a discriminatory way. What they do: (1) Opinions on whether discrimination occurred (legally non-binding but heavily weighed by courts). (2) Mediation. (3) Investigations and publications. (4) Education + advice to government and business. How? Online via mensenrechten.nl complaint form, or call 030-888 38 88. Free. Difference vs AP: AP handles privacy as such, the Institute looks at human-rights/discrimination aspects. Often submit to both.
