Tidigare forskning påvisar att kvinnor upplever ett ansvar över både hushållsarbetet samt planerandet av detta (tredje skiftet), vilket i sin tur påverkar deras

Det är förbjudet för en arbetsgivare att utsätta en arbetstagare, arbetssökande etc. för diskriminering eller repressalier i samband med personens sexuella läggning. Detta framkommer både i EU-rätten och i den nationella rätten. Sexuell läggning definieras i diskrimineringslagen som “homosexuell, bisexuell eller heterosexuell läggning”.

This is reflected in both EU law and national law. Sexual orientation is defined in the Discrimination Act as "homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual orientation". The definition was developed in the previous law (1999: 133) on the
