Focus & Rationale
Combating discrimination means actively working to eliminate unequal treatment, bias, and systemic exclusion based on characteristics such as ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, or migration status. It involves both addressing individual prejudice and dismantling structural inequalities that are embedded in laws, institutions, and social norms.

Challenges & Relevance
Discrimination erodes trust, fuels social division, and violates fundamental human rights. It restricts access to education, jobs, healthcare, and justice – perpetuating cycles of marginalization and poverty. Left unaddressed, it creates environments where people feel unsafe, unwelcome, or voiceless. A truly inclusive and democratic society cannot exist without confronting discrimination head-on. Combating it is not just about protecting individual dignity – it’s about building stronger, more cohesive communities where everyone can thrive and contribute. It also reinforces social stability, economic participation, and public trust.

Our Approach
At BRIC, we address discrimination through education, advocacy, and community-based action. We run awareness campaigns that challenge harmful stereotypes and raise visibility of marginalized groups. Our workshops and trainings offer tools for recognizing and addressing bias – whether in interpersonal interactions or institutional settings.
We also facilitate safe spaces where people from different backgrounds can share experiences, build solidarity, and co-create inclusive practices. In cooperation with NGOs, human rights defenders, and policy actors, we contribute to advocacy efforts aimed at strengthening anti-discrimination protections and promoting equity in public institutions. Our approach is intersectional, recognizing that people often face multiple, overlapping forms of exclusion — and therefore require holistic and empowering responses.
