Abstract
Substantive forms of discrimination continue to take place in practice even if discrimination as such is formally prohibited by law; this is referred to as de facto discrimination. Some groups are subjected to substantive discriminatory practices manifested in various ways, such as unequal access to justice, education, healthcare, fair pay, employment, housing, and other resources and opportunities (right to education; right to housing; right to health). These discriminatory practices might be based on grounds of race, sex, gender, colour, religion, language, etc. This entry discusses de facto discrimination.
