The participants of the conference will be invited to focus their attention on the situation of the victims of hate crimes as well as victims assistance, provided by non-governmental and governmental institutions. An integral part of the conference will be presentation of the outcome of the research project “Hate Crimes – Forgotten Victims”, conducted in the Czech Republic by Kulturbüro Sachsen e.V., In IUSTITIA o. s., Tolerance a občanská společnost and Romea o. s., financed by the EVZ Foundation Berlin. The goals of the conference (see the attached draft program), held under the auspices of the Czech Minister for Human Rights and Minorities, Mr. Michael Kocáb, are to contribute to a useful exchange of experiences on how to effectively and consistently address the issue of the hate violence as well as how to raise the awareness of the interested public, relevant NGOs, policymakers and serious media of the situation of people threatened by and exposed to hate violence. The organizers hope that the conference will serve as a starting point for a discussion on a political, legal and sociocultural framework in the Czech Republic (and other post-communist countries). Furthermore, the conference will provide opportunities for networking among Czech NGOs as well as on an international level with participants from Germany, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine.
