One of the most striking characteristics of the UK approach is that it is systematic and covers several issues: gender, social equality, discrimination, hate crimes, domestic violence etc., within one united methodology; and it is dealt with from several angles: by different structures of the authorities, civil society, the media, businesses, etc.
