The European Network Against Racism (ENAR) is an EU-wide network of anti-racist NGOs. ENAR aims to end structural racism and discrimination and advocates for equality and solidarity for all Europeans. It connects local and national anti-racist NGOs throughout Europe and acts as an interface between its members and European institutions. It voices the concerns of ethnic and religious minorities in both European and national policy debates.[1]
ENAR is funded by the European Union, the Open Society Foundations,[2] the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, and the Sigrid Rausing Trust.
History
[edit]ENAR is an outcome of the 1997 European Year Against Racism. Between March and September 1998, more than 600 NGOs were involved in national and European round table consultations to discuss the viability of such a structure. The 1998 Constitutive Conference of the European Network Against Racism brought together more than 200 representatives of these organisations to draw up a common programme of action.
Vision and mission
[edit]ENAR's vision aims at guaranteeing equality for all, and recognizes the benefits of a diverse and racism-free Europe for European society and economy.
Its mission is to end structural racism in the European Union and to build structures, institutions and attitudes based on race equality and equal distribution of power, privileges and rights.
Areas of work
[edit]The following are some of the fields in which ENAR works:
- Racist crime and speech[3]
- Employment[4]
- Security and policing[5]
- Equality data collection[6]
- Migration and integration[7]
- Specific forms of racism, including Afrophobia,[8] Antigypsyism,[9] Islamophobia[10] and Antisemitism[11]
Along with Equinox, ENAR has been denouncing the whiteness of the European institutions and argued for a greater representation or racialised communities in the policy discussions at the EU level.[12]
Controversy
[edit]Links with the Muslim Brotherhood
[edit]ENAR has been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood by MEP Frederique Ries,[13] a claim also extended to its member organization FEMYSO.[14][15] Michaël Privot, ENAR's former director, publicly admitted he had joined and then left the Muslim Brotherhood.[16]
Members
[edit]ENAR members include a wide range of organisations, from grassroots to advocacy organisations, from information centres, to trade unions, to faith-based organisations.[17]
Member countries
