‘Equality for All in Malta’ is a Rights, Equality and Citizenship (REC)-funded project aiming to tackle the issue of underreporting of cases of discrimination based on race and / or ethnic origin and religion or belief.
This 2-year long project, being led by the Ministry for Equality, Research and Innovation, is targeting racial, ethnic and religious minority organisations and communities as well as the general public in the following ways:
1. Development and delivery of training sessions
Training is being provided to 120 members of racial, ethnic and religious minorities (who may include victims of discrimination based on race and/or ethnic origin and religion or belief) to empower them to effectively enjoy their rights and the new remedies laid down in the law. Two rounds of training sessions have been held in April and September 2021 and the next one is going to be held in February 2022.
2. Raising awareness
A campaign targeting the general public will be raising awareness on non-discrimination and equality, through the distribution of posters and utilization of bus shelters, and videos and posts on social medias, among others.
3. Outreach
An outreach model will be developed to target the grassroots through local councils, to bring them on board in the fight against discrimination. Outreach to 68 local councils will help to develop further non-discrimination tools for action at the local level already utilised in a migrant integration setting.
