The project will develop a Community tool to prevent and combat all forms of discrimination, by developing a 30-member network of local human rights observers. Another objective is to combat and prevent discrimination in education, labor market integration, access to health services, housing and human dignity, the abuse of law enforcement officials, and discriminatory, racist or hate speech, through advocacy and litigation. The project will stimulate increased access to justice for members of the Roma community, by facilitating legal assistance and representation for victims of ethnic discrimination, abuse or violation of rights, in at least 15 cases.

It will ensure the organization of the network of observers that will be involved at local level in order to identify and solve all cases of ethnic discrimination in terms of education, access to housing, integration into the labor market, access to medical services and other forms of discrimination. aimed at the Roma population and their training in order to strengthen the capacity of Roma communities to defend themselves.
