Enough criminalizing, more protecting! These #EUelections2024, our vision for a #EuropeForAll includes: ⏩Ensuring a shift in existing EU #migration policies towards non-discrimination and protection of rights.  ⏩Acknowledging that the historical basis for current #migration and law #enforcement policies is rooted in racial #discrimination. ⏩Implementing measures to prevent the #criminalization of people on the move. To protect their rights, we must combat institutional discrimination. ⏩Mobilizing EU funding for support and #safety initiatives for racialized individuals is essential for a more just Europe. 📌Read our #EuropeForAll manifesto ⏩ https://lnkd.in/eH7x-5D6

Excited to have been invited this week by the Veřejný ochránce práv - Ombudsman to speak at the Conference celebrating 15 years of the Anti-Discrimination Act! 🙌 We tackled critical issues like the need for a robust legal framework, stronger enforcement, and how blending litigation powers with awareness raising, positive action and mainstreaming can reshape the way we approach discrimination. #EqualityBodies are at the forefront of this transformation. With new #StandardsDirectives, they’ll strengthen their mandate, independence, and resources needed to support this quest. It is essential that together we create a system that protects people before they become victims. Here’s to driving change and building a more equitable future! ⚖️ #Equality #AntiDiscrimination

⚖️ 15 Years of Czech Anti-Discrimination Law: A Milestone for Equality! On 25 September, our Senior Legal and Policy Officer Jone Elizondo Urrestarazu (PhD) took part in the seminar “15 Years of the Anti-Discrimination Act”, held in the Czech Senate in Prague and organised by the Public Defender of Rights (Veřejný ochránce práv - ombudsman). There, she discussed the evolving role of #EqualityBodies in Europe and the impact of the newly adopted #StandardsforEqualityBodies Directives. 📌Equality Bodies have been crucial in protecting individuals from #Discrimination, but the new #Directives take this further by ensuring that these institutions have the #Resources, #Independence, and #Mandates necessary to defend citizens’ rights. These standards are legally binding, and they mark a significant step towards creating stronger, more effective Equality Bodies across the EU. 🗺️ Together, we can build a future where everyone can realize their full potential, free from discrimination. 🤝 🔗Learn more about Standards for Equality Bodies: https://lnkd.in/dG8_zScJ
