Discrimination pervades the German film industry.
Over 6,000 members of the film industry in their 440 professions participated in the online survey initiated by the Alliance for #VielfaltImFilm (Diversity in Film). This is the first comprehensive data on their experiences with diversity and discrimination in front of and behind the camera. The results of #VielfaltImFilm indicate that discrimination pervades the German film industry and limits the participation of people with different diversity backgrounds. The survey ran from mid-July to the end of October 2020.September 14, 2021

About 7.6 million people with a migration background are eligible to vote in the Bundestag elections - that is 12.2% of all eligible voters.

Based on the microcensus and data from the Federal Election Commissioner, Jun.-Prof. Arndt Leininger, PhD (Chemnitz University of Technology), Julius Lagodny (Cornell University), Daniel Gyamerah and Deniz Yıldırım-Caliman (both Citizens For Europe), with the support of Correlaid e.V., have for the first time estimated the number of eligible voters with a migration background for all 299 Bundestag constituencies.October 18, 2021
