The national or local Councilor for equal opportunities is an institutional figure and has its own origin in DLGS 11.04.2006 n.198, part of the Equal opportunities code.

She is the main justice promoter in discrimination matters.

The Councilors for equal opportunities can help you because they support and monitor the respect of equality principles for men and women at work, this includes:

COUNCILOR(S)

The Trusted Councilor works in public or private organisations where the internal conduct code is applied.

The role of the Trusted Councilor is described in the EU Commission Recommendation about the protection of men and women dignity at work.

The Trusted Councilor is an expert called to face the subjects of violence (not only sexual ones) at work and mobbing and find solutions, they’re an objective and independent figure who’s job is to record all the information about discrimination, moral and sexual harassment, mobbing and put an end to them, with prevention and resolution techniques.
The Trusted Councilor isn’t a public officer (unless they’re a public worker), they have a wider range of action on an executive point of view, in the sense of intervention in any case of discrimination and/or harassment and not only for gender inequality , but at the same time, on a territorial point of view it their actions are limited to the public administration or a company from which they received the role.
