- Abstract
- The presentation explores whether housing law and anti-discrimination law can be reflected upon jointly in order to address socioeconomic inequalities, understood as major constraints to the access to adequate housing. The first section analyses the prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of socioeconomic status as contained in selected international human rights instruments and in European Union law, in light of the guidance of the bodies tasked with their interpretation and application. The second section focuses specifically on housing, examining how the aforementioned prohibition applies in this field and which specific mechanisms ought to be put in place to effectively secure the right to housing of low-income groups.
