  Events/Conf/Fairs

The EU Agency for fundamental rights (FRA) will launch its report on being black in the EU at an event in the European Parliament.

The report draws on findings from FRA’s second EU minorities and discrimination survey (EU-MIDIS II).

The findings indicate how black people regularly experience racial discrimination, racist crime, racial profiling and social exclusion. The policy implications of these experiences will be discussed at the event.

It is being hosted by Cecile Kyenge MEP, Malin Bjork MEP and the European Parliament’s Anti-Racism and Diversity Intergroup (ARDI). The OSCE’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights will host a reception after the event.
