Positive action is a method of achieving gender equality. The positive action is an exception to the Equal Treatment Directive 2006/54 which allows for exceptions aimed for achieving full equality between women and men in the working life with the requirement that it must be within Article 157 (4) of the Treaty. The essay will have the positive action of gender as the starting point to create a solid reason to study a possible introduction of ethnic positive action into Swedish legislation. In order to achieve a worthwhile result, the paper will address relevant sources of law as well as relevant documents. A comparative feature will also be made with the Norwegian legislation, where the country has already chosen to implement a provision that says that the employer has the opportunity to use ethnic positive treatment. The paper will take both the negative as well as the positive aspects of a legislation that could prevent the structural discrimination which is happening right now in Europe and in Sweden. With the background of the unrest in Europe and in the rest of the world makes this essay current and something that has to be discussed. / Diskriminera, Etnicitet, Jämställdhetsdirektivet, Jämställdhet, Positiv särbehandling
