CHALLENGE

In today’s European societies, biases, racism, and discrimination persist despite strides towards progress. Findings from the “Multiple Discrimination & Young People in Europe” report revealed that a staggering 77.1% of young respondents have faced discrimination based on various factors. Furthermore, additional research indicates that 40% of individuals hold unconscious biases towards specific genders and ethnicities. This bleak reality has highlighted the critical need for intensified efforts to combat discrimination against youth.
