Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) is the EU's funding programme for citizens' engagement and the implementation of EU rights and values.
This call aims to support projects that fight against anti-Muslim hatred/racism and discrimination.
This call will support the fight against anti-Muslim hatred/racism and discrimination, and therefore support actions to raise awareness, foster reporting by victims and address negative stereotypes and intolerance against Muslims and persons perceived as such. Muslims form an integral part of European societies. Anti-Muslim racism is increasing throughout Europe and the world and affects the lives of a significant number of EU citizens. It also undermines the trust of many in the institutions and in the values of the European Union.
This call will specifically help civil society organisations to combat all forms of anti-Muslim racism, to support victims of anti-Muslim racism and to raise awareness throughout the European Union. The call will also support the improvement of data collection on anti-Muslim racism, which is essential to combat racism and discrimination effectively, and to strengthen resilience among the Muslim communities against any form of racism and discrimination.
See more details in the call document.
This call is looking for projects that focus on:
- raising awareness about anti-Muslim hatred/racism and discrimination, its impact on society in general, and on specific target groups such as multipliers(educators, journalists, policy makers ...) and combatting stereotypes, conspiracy theories and hate speech against Muslims and people perceived as such
- providing support and accompanying measures to victims of anti-Muslim discrimination, thus contributing to the resilience of Muslim communities.
- improving the monitoring of anti-Muslim hatred/racism, encouraging reporting and strengthening cooperation with the police at local level and authorities.
