Statute overview

About this statute

This provision is the preamble of a Luxembourg law and states the law’s subject matter and formal enactment formula. This provision states that the law aims to fight sex-based discrimination in access to and supply of goods and services outside work and employment. The provision bans direct and indirect discrimination based on sex, including less favourable treatment linked to pregnancy or maternity, and treats harassment and sexual harassment as prohibited discrimination. This article says the law applies broadly to people or organizations offering public goods and services, but excludes several areas and does not override more favorable pregnancy and maternity protections. Sex-based differences in treatment are not contrary to this law if they are justified by a legitimate aim and the means used are appropriate and necessary.
