Is not speaking much Dutch a reason for discrimination?

International workers are increasingly being blamed for problems in the Netherlands, such as the shortage of housing and the increasing dominance of English in some neighbourhoods and in education.

Dutch News would like to find out more about your experiences of discrimination while living here. Have you personally been affected and if so, what sort of impact has it had on you?

Or do you think people should stop moaning, improve their Dutch skills and get properly integrated into Dutch society?

We’ve put together a short survey and we would very much welcome your thoughts – in complete confidence of course. The survey closes on April 15.
