Qualitative Info

Anti-racist/anti-discrimination activities of anti-discrimination NGOs have been an important factor for changing the political disourse and policies in recent years. Concrete effects are difficult to measure, but NGOs' public relations work and acitivities disclosing grievances have contributed to political decisions like the installment of the Advisory Board for Human Rights (Menschenrechtsbeirat), competent for monitoring the compartment of police forces and the situation in prisons and detention centres in terms of their compatibility with Human Rights standards
