As regards legal protection we recall the crucial role of the lawyers and magistrates member of ASGI (Associazione Studi Giuridici sull’Immigrazione); as regards policy every year since 1995 ARCI organises the International Anti-Racist Meeting, a week of initiatives, where public and private bodies working in the fight against racism and exclusion across Europe, can meet and exchange ideas and opinions, share information on good practice and organise training workshops. The Migrants’ Social Forum and the Coordination of Immigrants in Italy lead a daily struggle, which has deep roots all over Italy, defending third country nationals against institutional and social discriminations, including entry and residence regulations and detention centres, a struggle which is shared and actively supported by hundreds of NGOs. This is also the case of the struggle for civil and political rights, including the right to EU citizenship or residence, for social rights (housing, employment, health) and for equal treatment and opportunities.
