3 Demands

The complaint system which handles objections to medical injustice is often inefficient, requires time, skills and legal knowledge and often financial resources. These assets are mostly unavailable to people who are being discriminated against or find themselves in crises, hospitalised or institutionalised.

We demand:

  • We demand complaints offices at all health related institutions. These offices need to be equipped with more staff, more financial resources and more power to effectively enforce anti-discriminatory policies and changes on all institutional levels
  • We demand urgent large-scale research into the health-related effects of discrimination in healthcare, such as sexism, racism, ableism, classism, discrimination against trans, non-binary and intersex people, and the intersections of all forms of discrimination
  • We demand committees that commission research and develop antidiscriminatory policies at all levels of healthcare in Germany

These demands were developed collectively and are based on the interviews with the following initiatives:
