Senatsverwaltung für Arbeit, Soziales, Gleichstellung, Integration, Vielfalt und Antidiskriminierung

The Senate Department for Labour, Social Affairs, Equality, Integration, Diversity and Anti-Discrimination (SenASGIVA) is a supreme state authority of the State of Berlin. It is responsible for the policy areas of labour and vocational education, social security, equality between women and men, integration of people with a migration background, anti-discrimination, and diversity in administration and society. The authority develops and coordinates funding programs, services, and advisory offerings for citizens, companies, initiatives, and social organizations in Berlin. In doing so, it works across departments with other Senate administrations, district offices, civil society organizations, and educational institutions to promote equal opportunities, social participation, and an inclusive society.

SenASGIVA is committed to ensuring that all people in Berlin participate in social and economic life without disadvantage or discrimination. Our mission is to create good working conditions and fair opportunities, to ensure social participation, to anchor equality, to promote integration, and to shape diversity as an enrichment. We see ourselves as pioneers for a just and solidaristic urban society in which diversity is respected and supported.

The funding and service offerings of the Senate Department are aimed at a broad target group: from job seekers and employed persons to social service providers and non-profit organizations, as well as actors from business, administration, and education. Furthermore, projects and initiatives that promote equality, anti-discrimination, integration, and diversity are supported. Target groups include citizens who require advice and financial support, as well as institutions and networks that implement programs for social participation and equal opportunities.
