About This Information Resource
This information resource is an independent project on equal rights and debate culture in Germany. It has no connection to parties, associations, public authorities or other organizations and does not act on their behalf.
What It Is About
The articles explain the basics, put numbers in context and describe how disputed questions can be discussed factually. They cover the provision in Article 3 of the Basic Law, how the pay gap is calculated, the main stages of legal history and rules for a fair conversation.
Editorial Approach
The texts describe arguments and facts. Individual private persons are neither named nor judged, and there are no lists of people or organizations. Where criticism appears, it is aimed at statements and not at people.
Numbers are given with their source and year. Where a statement cannot be backed up, it is left out. The articles aim to inform and not to prescribe an opinion.
Sources
The basis is the wording of the Basic Law, publications of the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) and generally accessible historical accounts. In case of doubt, the official version of a source always applies.
Notes
The content does not replace legal advice. Despite careful checking, details may change or contain errors.
