Statement on the occasion of the European Holocaust Memorial Day for Sinti and Roma 2020
“We must remember how important it is to highlight the connection of crimes and cruelties of the past to the experiences of discrimination and racism til today.”
European Network against Racism
ENAR is the only pan-European anti-racism network that combines advocacy for racial equality and facilitating cooperation among civil society anti-racism actors in Europe. The organisation was set up in 1998 by grassroots activists on a mission to achieve legal changes at European level and make decisive progress towards racial equality in all EU Member States. Since then, ENAR has grown and achieved a great deal.
