There is no anonymous route

Every mechanism that works asks for your name. That is how the law is written.

The Commission for Protection against Discrimination (КЗД) does not examine anonymous complaints (чл. 51, ал. 3 ЗЗДискр). An anonymous report is no basis for criminal proceedings (чл. 209, ал. 1 НПК). The person you file against receives a copy. КЗД hearings are open (чл. 61, ал. 1).

If that is dangerous where you are, not filing is a decision, not weakness. The log below keeps your evidence while the circumstances change.

The documents

Each has a page: what it does, who reads it, what follows — and the text. Print it blank and fill it in by hand.

What is deliberately not here

Missing on purpose. Here is why.

Complaint to the Commission (КЗД)
„Действие" run a generator at deystvie.org. The choice between КЗД and the court (чл. 52, ал. 2 ЗЗДискр) runs one way only.
Reporting a crime to the police
It cannot be taken back — once filed, you cannot stop it. Doctor and photographs first, lawyer second, paper third.
Signal to a head teacher
It runs through the parent (чл. 8, ал. 2 ЗЗакрД) — and for a child not out at home, the signal can be more dangerous than the bullying. Under 18: 116 111 is free, 24/7, and does not ask for a name.
Complaint to the data protection authority after an outing
The route is real, but an electronic complaint needs a qualified electronic signature, and the window is 6 months from discovery. This is the next one we will write.

Three questions before you file

If any of them stops you — stopping is the right outcome.

1. Is there danger right now?

Threats or violence — 112, then the crisis lines. ЗЗДискр has no emergency measure: the one fast thing is КЗД suspending an unlawful employer order if you ask (чл. 76, ал. 1, т. 2 ЗЗДискр).

Crisis lines

2. Who will read it?

The person it is against. The letter arrives at the address you gave, in an envelope with the institution's name — in a small office that outs you. Choose an address for correspondence: a КЗД letter in the family postbox is an outing.

3. If you lose this job — what will you live on?

Retaliation is the usual outcome, not the exception: explanations demanded under чл. 193 КТ, then a "reorganisation" (чл. 328, ал. 1, т. 3 КТ). The law calls that victimisation and treats it as discrimination (§ 1, т. 3 ЗЗДискр), but a prohibition does not pay rent. If there is nothing to live on, that does not mean never. It means the log first.

Deadlines

The deadliest mistake: somebody dismissed files with КЗД because that deadline is three years, and misses the two months for the dismissal itself. So both clocks sit together.

Checked 14 August 2026. After August 2027, ask a lawyer.

If you think your deadline has expired

Do not stop here. If the harassment is still going on, the clock may run from the last act rather than the first. Ask a lawyer — at „Действие" that is free.

What is visible

The form has nowhere to submit to — the site is only files, and the rule form-action 'none' in its security policy forbids your browser from submitting it anywhere at all.

What is visible: that you opened the page. The address and time pass through your provider and Cloudflare. On a work or school network their server sees it.

So: not on a work or school device, and not over the work Wi-Fi.

What we cannot promise you

We cannot promise you your phone, the office printer, or anyone who can reach your device. A phone keyboard learns words — a name, the company, the slur — and later offers them in another app. That is what discreet mode and the quick exit are for.

What we have not verified

If we have not seen it in a primary source, we do not assert it. Here that weighs more: a wrong deadline costs a case.

  • Whether КЗД anonymises names in the public register it keeps under чл. 47, т. 7. We promise no anonymity.
  • Whether the Labour Inspectorate examines an orientation complaint or forwards it to КЗД. So we send nobody there as a first move.
  • The limitation period under чл. 71 ЗЗДискр — the act is silent. We publish no number.
  • Whether a court fee is due on the чл. 68 appeal to the administrative court. So we write "free" for nothing after the КЗД decision.
  • Whether state electronic delivery accepts complaints to КЗД without a qualified electronic signature. We are checking.
  • Whether a covert audio or video recording is admitted in evidence. Practice diverges.
  • The internal steps of the school anti-bullying mechanism. Its text does not open from a ministry server.

Hand in hand

Here is the text, the deadline, and who receives it. The decision is yours.

Legal advice is at „Действие" — free, from people running these cases since 2014. We lay out the paper while you decide.

Filing nothing is a decision too. You know your family, your town and your boss better than we do.

Made by us, for us.
