We are delighted to again welcome the report’s editors Enes Bayrakli and Farid Hafez, and individual report contributors Kawtar Najib (France), Lamies Nassri (Denmark) & Enrique Tessieri (Finland – and also one of ENORB’s board members).
They will present their latest findings, and we will aim to discuss what actions are now being taken, and what further actions need to be taken, to tackle religious hatreds and anti-muslim racism in particular across Europe.
You can view the latest report: European Islamophobia Report 2022
We are now inviting MEPs and colleagues from the European Commission engaged in delivering anti-racism and Islamophobia actions in Europe, to share with us latest actions and planned action. We will be joined by colleagues from all religions and none, including friends from CCIE who will be launching an anti-religious hatreds coalition in June 2023 , with ENORB and many other civil society partners, called EQUITAS, and starting with #STOPISLAMOPHOBIA 2030 campaign. CCIE will also be telling us about their findings based on their most recent report.
The event will be facilitated by ENORB’s President Maryana Hnyp and Director Mark Ereira-Guyer
