Indicator history

There are some examples of anti-racist anti-discrimination organisations' activity having a positive impact on anti-racist policies.

Through the impetus provided  by the HALDE,  an anti-discrimination pole  was created attached to each Tribunal de Grande Instance (i.e at first level), composed of a judge and a public prosecutor (délégué) drawn from society at large to head up policy against racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia and to follow appropriate procedures as necessary. The missions of the local anti-discrimination poles are: to organize partnerships with civil society and local government authorities; to develop broad information packages aimed at  influencing public opinion, providers of social services, the education sector and company managers; to improve the quality of legal response (training programmes for public officers, testing operations, assistance with required procedures…)

Strengthening the partnership with the HALDE, LICRA, SOS-Racisme and LDH, the Ministry of Education launched new initiatives to fight against racism and other related violence and works on the introduction of new "sensitive" (slavery, genocides, etc) topics in school programmes and courses.
