The RED Network

The RED Network, is an independent research network building the RED early warning system composed of 17 Research and Civil Society Organisations in EU Member States. It aims at reporting and documenting racist and hate crime and discrimination situations and incidents, as well as positive initiatives and policy responses. i-RED, Institute of Rights Equality & Diversity, based in Greece, is leading the RED Network. It perceives itself as a ‘watchdog’ and a reliable source of information. The general aim of the RED network - and as a consequence its major contribution - is to address the gaps in the current socio-political state of research regarding the support of timely and effective reporting on the situation of fundamental rights at national and EU level.

The RED portal is a map-based, user friendly independent tool providing a birds’ eye overview and a comparative insight of the situation regarding racism, xenophobia and discrimination against migrants and minorities, as well as positive and policy initiatives promoting equality in different EU Member States (17 countries are covered in the RED System 1st implementation - 2012). Its main components are the RED Early Warning System and the RED Atlas of Racism, Discrimination & Equality.

The RED Early Warning System (EWS) is a map based web portal reporting on a real-time basis:

Racist & hate crime alerts/situations/incidents in EU Member States
Policy responses/positive initiatives regarding racism xenophobia and discrimination
Case Studies (combination of more of the above items for a more spherical understanding of situations and context)

RED Atlas of Racism, Discrimination and Equality.

Strength of the RED portal is the unique set of RED indicators built for the RED System and Atlas. A thorough set of 125 policy, legislation and factual questions/indicators and of 38 key statistic and demographic figures expands beyond the main areas combating racism, hate crime and discrimination against migrants and minorities, to the themes of equality and good practice in the RED Network member states. The RED indicators range from qualitative to quantitative, and from legal to sociolegal and factual questions/indicators on anti-racism anti-discrimination and pro-equality legislation and its effective implementation in Member States.

The RED Atlas reports yearly and updates on a ‘real-time’ basis:

· Country information on racism & discrimination legislation & policy implementation in key areas of legislation and social life (once & updates)

· Country statistics of Racist-hate crime and discrimination (yearly)

· Country statistics – demographics and economics of migrants & minorities (yearly)

· Trends and developments in key anti-racist, anti-discrimination and pro-equality/diversity/integration legislation, implementation and social life areas:

HUMAN RIGHTS TALK: Monitoring Racism - The Importance of Data Collection and Monitoring in Combating Rasicm

Monika Mayrhofer — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 08:23:03 GMT

On 29 March 2012, Monika MAYRHOFER (Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights) presented the RED-Project within the framework of the HUMAN RIGHTS TALK: “Monitoring Racism. Data Collection and Monitoring as essential instruments in combatting Racism” in the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna.

The aim of the RED-Project is to create a web-based anti-discrimination atlas containing information on xenophobia, racism and other forms of intolerance, compiled of 18 research and civil society organisations from 17 EU member states. The researchers involved in the project come from a wide variety of backgrounds such as law, political science, sociology, etc. The project’s focus is to report on and document situations where various forms of racism and discrimination occur and incidents of racism, and to develop successful counter-strategies. Data on racism, Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Anti-Ziganism and homophobia will be made available via the Atlas project; the aim is that it will be comparable in all EU member states. The project will present the development of legislation and the reactions of governments and civil society to current events, and by so doing attempt to establish a data- and evaluation base which will highlight both positive and negative developments. This will in turn provide a good foundation for further development in the areas of equal treatment, equal opportunity and diversity.

Claudia SCHÄFFER from the organisation ZARA-Civil Courage and Anti-Racism Work emphasized the importance of raising awareness about racism and commented on the ZARA Racism report which was presented on 21 March 2012. “You can only take action against racism when you know where and how it occurs.” Ms Schäfer stated that she believes that there is a lack of government approaches to tackle interpersonal and institutional racism.

Josef KYTIR of Statistik Austria commented that Statistik Austria consciously decided against statistical assessment of race and ethnicity for historical reasons. In the census,
data was collected on citizenship, the place of birth and the citizenship of parents. For
the past few years Statistik Austria has been working on a report on the situation in Austria entitled, “Migration and Integration”.

Petja DIMITROVA spoke about border politics in Europe and emphasised the fact that projects like the RED-Project are very important as a source of data. She also remarked that it is important that one has concrete plans of how to address the incidents of racism which are recorded by such projects, a view which was supported by Ms Mayrhofer.

Monitoring racism is a key component in the combatting of racism and discrimination as it helps raise awareness amongst political and civil society actors and thus strengthens the development of positive and preventative measures.

The event was moderated by Irene BRICKNER (Der Standard).
