Facing Facts! is mapping the extent to which data gathering is currently undertaken by state actors and NGOs.

Your work today can empower our future! Complete the questionnaire and help us to learn more about your organization’s work.

Every day hundreds of organizations in Europe work to increase awareness of hate crime through monitoring activities, producing statistic, publishing reports and supporting victims. Despite their strong commitment, several difficulties still prevent the best implementation of their work: the low level of attention shown by governments and local authorities on this matter and, furthermore, the existing lack of comparable data.

In order to enhance civil society organizations’ work and challenge governments and institutions to implement anti-discrimination measures, Facing Facts! aims to standardize criteria on collecting hate crime data. For this purpose we are asking international, national and local organizations involved in combating and monitoring hate incidents and crimes to submit information about their data gathering methods and standards. A clear mapping of the extent to which data gathering is currently undertaken by state actors and NGOs is needed in order to classify different methodologies, identify best practices and create guidelines for future use.

By filling the questionnaire respondents will have the opportunity to be deeper involved into the project’s development that will produce a training programme in monitoring and recording hate crime.

The questionnaire is intended for organisations based in the countries of the European Union. It is composed of 33 questions, divided into 5 sections. It will take only 15 minutes to complete.
