The European Network Against Racism (ENAR aisbl) is the leading voice of the pan-European anti-racist movement. We are advocates for racial equity and justice across Europe and play a leading role in facilitating cooperation among civil society anti-racism actors.
Our mission: we work to build an inclusive society that achieves equality, equity, as well as solidarity and well-being for all. To achieve this, ENAR specifically works to combat racism and discrimination based on colour, ethnicity, national origin, nationality, religion, culture, language or legal status. We envision a vibrant and inclusive society and economy that embrace equality and diversity and the benefits of a racism-free Europe.
