Quali sono i miei diritti nell’UE se subisco una discriminazione basata sulla mia identità di genere? Se sono un sostenitore politico, so come far sentire la mia voce a Bruxelles? Quali sono i diritti dei non cittadini nell’UE e sono sufficienti?
Esiste un grande divario tra i diritti garantiti dall’UE e il loro esercizio da parte nostra. Leggi poco chiare, la decadenza o il timore di rappresaglie possono impedire alle persone di conoscere e godere dei loro diritti.
Il progetto Citi-Rights esamina come, quando e dove le persone nell’UE possono proteggere e far progredire i diritti individualmente e collettivamente e, laddove sono limitate dall’esercizio dei loro diritti, come la collaborazione transnazionale può immaginare e costruire un futuro in cui i diritti siano attivamente protetti.
Il progetto ha diverse componenti: ricerca sui diritti dei cittadini nell’UE, formazione di attivisti della società civile per migliorare la loro capacità di proteggere ed estendere i diritti, insegnamento sui diritti nelle scuole e nelle università e redazione di proposte di politica dell’UE.
In sieme a Academia Cidada, CEAS, Cidem.org, cnr.it, European Civic Forum, Institutul European din Romania, Krytyka Polityczna, MoveBG, Tele Radio City ONLUS.
