Anti-racist and anti-discrimination organisations have an impact on anti-racist policies in Portugal through public denunciation, but mainly through participation and consultation in equality commissions. |

This participation is developed mainly under the Comissão para a Igualdade e Contra da Discriminação Racial (CIDCR) [Commission for Equality and Against Racial Discrimination] and the Conselho Consultivo para os Assuntos da Imigração (COCAI) [Consultative Comittee for Immigration Affairs], which include members from immigrant associations, anti-racist organisations and organisations for the defence of human rights.
