About HumanRights360
HumanRights360 is a civil society organization that works to protect and strengthen the rights of all, without discrimination. A cornerstone is the belief that the achievement of social cohesion can only be achieved through the protection of the individual, political and social rights of the entire population, and that through the formation of wider alliances, both in Greece and internationally, open and tolerant societies can be built, that reject far-right rhetoric, extremism and xenophobia, and operate in a framework of accountability, encouraging the participation of all citizens. The main axes of HumanRights360's activity are: integration services with an active presence in the refugee field (e.g. Evros), reintegration and support services for vulnerable populations (released from prison, unemployed), the fight against hate crimes by recording incidents for the Network Registration of Racist Violence, the promotion of campaigns, participation in research, reports and publications, and the legal support of victims of racist crimes, the strategic communication and interventions (advocacy) on issues concerning the violation of fundamental rights of vulnerable populations, and the management of EEA Grants and other refinancing programs.
