A 'Say No to Racism' campaign was launched today by a group of NGOs.
During a press conference held at the Workers’ Memorial Building, the NGOs complained about blatant discrimination on the basis of race at places of entertainment, exploitation of migration and xenophobia.
However the situation is not all negative, as a migrant who spoke at the press conference said (see video).
The campaign groups lecturers, writers, artists, the Migrants’ Network for Equality (a network composed of migrant community representatives), the Jesuit Refugee Service (Malta), Migrants Solidarity Movement, Moviment Graffitti, General Workers’ Union, Amplify, CEER, Koperattiva Kummerc Gust, Greenhouse, Third World Group, Get Up Stand Up, Organisation for Friendship in Diversity, Kopin, Moviment Azzjoni Xellug and Alternattiva Demokratika.
The campaign will highlight cases of racism. It will also feature an education campaign on diversity and migration, and street art activities.
