Vienna has a population of over 1.7 million people, with 49% having a migration background and 21% lacking Austrian citizenship. The city has implemented numerous initiatives to become a more equitable human rights city, including establishing a Women's Office in 1992, passing an Equal Treatment Act in 1996, and creating a Department of Integration and Diversity in 2004. Vienna adopted a human rights approach beginning in 1993 and officially began efforts to build a human rights city in 2013 through analysis, allocating resources, political and legal statements, and stakeholder engagement. The goal is to develop a new political culture based on human rights.
