Some results have been obtained through strategic litigation. E.g. in 2000, the Eastern High Court ruled in favour of a high school girl who had been refused admittance to a work experience program in a shopping mall on account of her wearing a religious headscarf. The court case originated from an NGO against racial discrimination. See also various cases pertaining to hate speech from the jurisprudence of the CERD Committee. |
