Challenge
Although the EU directive on the support of victims of crime has been incorporated into Greek law since 2017 (Law 4478/2017), the access of victims of racist crimes to services and to protection status needs further strengthening.
The Greek national legal framework requires the establishment of an effective referral mechanism by the competent authorities, for the coordination of the support system for victims of racist crimes, the mapping of services and actors at central, regional and local level as well as their inclusion in that mechanism.
Following the successful drafting and implementation of the 1st National Action Plan against Racism and Intolerance (2020-2023), the Greek Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family Affairs will work together with the Greek National Commission for Human Rights (member of NCRI) and KMOP to prepare the ground for the drafting of the 2nd National Action Plan against Racism and Intolerance (2024-2027).
Innovation
ECOSYSTEM aspires to enhance the capacity of National Authorities in Greece to fight against intolerance, racism and multiple and intersectional discriminations. Through a participatory, multi-disciplinary and inter-agency approach, the project aims to eliminate gaps and shortcomings in the anti-discrimination response of the State and will strengthen the collaboration between Public Authorities and Civil Society by focusing on three mutually-connected pillars:
- enhancing victims’ access to information and services through a platform in 10 languages
- improving the skills of Public Servants and the capacities of the National Council against Racism and Intolerance
- Raising awareness among the general public through a National Awareness Raising Campaign
