EU Anti-Racim Chief Warns Dscrimination Deeply Entrenched Across Europe
Michaela Moua says discrimination remains deeply embedded across Europe, urging stronger action to tackle systemic racism and inequality across member states.
Speaking on Saturday, Moua said nearly half of individuals of African descent in the European Union report experiencing discrimination in their daily lives.
She highlighted workplace inequality, noting that many highly educated individuals of African descent still face significant barriers to employment despite holding university degrees.
Addressing a symposium on racism in Amsterdam, Moua stressed that tackling entrenched inequality is essential for the health of democratic systems.
She added that racism is not a thing of the past but a “living structure,” warning of its urgency, particularly in today’s political climate.
The European Union adopted a new anti-racism strategy in January aimed at strengthening enforcement of existing laws and improving national action plans.
However, the European Network Against Racism has criticized the strategy, saying it lacks meaningful commitments to address historical injustices and systemic inequalities.
Moua’s remarks underscore growing concerns that without stronger action, structural racism will continue to undermine equality and social cohesion across Europe.
