COALITION EUROPE is a Pan-European platform of human rights organizations collaborating to implement single-issue campaigns to pursue a common European human rights agenda.
Europe has in recent years experienced a steady rise in the number of hate-motivated crimes committed within its borders. Increasing Immigration, a fear of fading national identity, of terrorism and of difference have been integral to the swelling feelings of Islamophobia, Anti-semitism and xenophobia throughout Europe and have led to an openly hostile environment against minority communities in many European states.
These fears have all been used as excuses for the acceptance of intolerance and have contributed directly to the rise in hate crimes throughout Europe.
The Coalition Europe campaign - From Hate Crimes to Human Rights - urges European States to commit themselves to establishing and implementing concrete and effective measures for preventing and combating hate crimes.
