The Institute for Human Rights makes a decision in a case of a caravan resident against the municipality Eindhoven and a housing association. He may not continue to rent the caravan where he lives and is on the waiting list for a place. The municipality is dismantling vacant pitches, but also states that it would not pursue an extinction policy. The Institute finds that the man cannot qualify for a caravan site in the foreseeable future and that there is discrimination based on race. In addition, the College rejects a complaint from a woman who feels discriminated against because the number of places on her camp is reduced. She is not receptive because she personally does not experience any disadvantage. Then there are also statements from the Board about a woman who is not allowed to take over a position from a departing main tenant in a caravan where she already lives as a co-resident. Here too make the municipality Eindhoven and the housing association is guilty of discrimination.
