COLOUR YOUR PICTURE

Europe is experiencing a growing discrimination especially towards migrant and minority groups. Governments have the responsibility to build anti-discrimination measures and protect equal rights of people. Instead we have poor reactions of state institutions, political parties and media that even put the blame on discriminated groups themselves. Innocent people continue to be victims of racism.

Violence, killings, hate crimes, beatings are a few examples of manifestations of racial discrimination that are regularly reported all over Europe. The alarming growth of racial motivated attacks is a clear sign that we need to work out together a strong strategy. Only in Russia, there were no less than 270 racially motivated attacks documented, affecting a total of 472 people including 53 deaths, in the period of January 1 to October 31, 2007 (source: SOVA Center, Russia)

Promote solidarity, Colour your diversity!

It is important that we all inform people in our communities about the social effect of racism.

Today we can travel, work and live in other countries in Europe, but we experience a clash of differences on social level and we are confronted with social exclusion, which endangers daily life of migrant groups in Europe.
