Italy is characterised by the presence, in almost every sector of social life, of a strong web of associations across the whole nation. This is also the case in the field of the protection of human rights and the fight against racism and xenophobia: there are thousands of NGOs active in every part of the country. It is, of course, impossible to describe them all; we can only say that civil society action has been decisive in guaranteeing the social, cultural, political and legal protection of the victims of racism. A web of church-based organisations, trade unions and NGOs today constitute the main barrier which challenges racism and xenophobia, achieving relevant though still insufficient success.
