discrimination, and 2,341, or 1.6% to other issues. In 2019 alone, 9,737 petitions were filed, of
which 7,072 (72.6%) were related to infringements and 2,613 (26.8%) to discrimination.

to discrimination increased by 416 (18.9%). The increase is attributable to the emergence of
employment discrimination and gender discrimination in the public realm.
