FRA discusses challenges facing non-discrimination organisations

On 22-23 September, FRA participated in a conference of Equality Bodies from South-Eastern Europe. At the event, FRA spoke about the specific challenges that civil society organisations working on non-discrimination issues face in their work.

Apart from the general pressures on civil society, non-discrimination organisations face additional challenges related to the topics they work on. Moreover, their staff and volunteers are often personally experiencing discrimination. 

The conference was organised jointly by four Croatian bodies – the Ombudswoman of the Republic of Croatia, the Ombudswoman for Children, the Ombudswoman for Gender Equality, and the Ombudsman for Persons with Disabilities.
