Qualitative Info

Organizations providing legal assistance – in particular, legal and integration assistance for foreigners (e.g. the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, Legal Intervention Association) – support victims of discrimination or racism-related violence in dealing with law enforcement agencies and during legal proceedings. However, it should be noted that there are very few legal cases in this area.
