Die Zivilgesellschaft ist ein Eckpfeiler der europäischen Grundrechte-Architektur. Von der Unterstützung bei der Pandemiebewältigung bis hin zur Hilfe für Menschen, die vor dem Krieg in der Ukraine geflüchtet sind: Die Zivilgesellschaft spielt eine entscheidende Rolle, wenn es darum geht, die Rechte der Menschen zu wahren. So trägt sie zu einer gesunden Kultur der Rechtsstaatlichkeit bei. Trotz positiver Entwicklungen steht die Zivilgesellschaft jedoch immer noch vor zahlreichen Herausforderungen, die von Belästigung bis zu restriktiven Gesetzen reichen. Dies geht aus dem neuesten Bericht der Agentur der Europäischen Union für Grundrechte (FRA) über den zivilgesellschaftlichen Raum hervor.
