Les organisations de la société civile de l’UE fournissent des services, s’engagent en faveur de communautés, mènent des actions de sensibilisation, défendent les intérêts d’autrui et invitent les autorités à rendre compte de leurs actions. Mais elles sont confrontées à des menaces, sont victimes d’attaques, subissent des réductions de financement et font l’objet de restrictions disproportionnées. Comme le souligne un nouveau rapport de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA), il ne s’agit là que de quelques-unes des difficultés auxquelles les organisations de la société civile de défense des droits de l’homme sont confrontées dans certaines parties de l’UE, alors que la pandémie de coronavirus a aggravé leurs conditions de travail. La FRA invite les décideurs politiques à promouvoir un environnement de travail plus favorable à la société civile afin de contribuer à faire respecter, pour tout individu, l’ensemble des droits de l’homme.
