A decision of the Board for the Protection of Human Rights on a complaint of a man from an unknown location in North Brabant. Op 8 January 2014 refuses a Muslim employee of a health service from Tilburg shake his hand. It does not say in what place this has happened. The man feels discriminated against based on gender, Muslim because his wife and young son have shook hands. The Board considers that it is a clash of two rights, but leaves the specific circumstances of this case, religious reasons women outweigh. The man can also be greeted respectfully without contact. The woman has the right not to be discriminated against on grounds of her religion. So the Muslim has no prohibited discrimination on grounds of sex.
