Fight Inequalities

Without reducing inequalities, none of the SDGs can be achieved. Local, national and European actors from 15 countries joined forces for this campaign. We want to empower and promote the social, cultural, economic and political inclusion of everyone – especially women, children and minorities. We want equal opportunities and equality of outcomes, a reversal of cuts in public investment in essential services and social protection schemes, climate justice and tax justice. We’re promoting safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people and ending all forms of discrimination against women and girls.

DESPITE THE EUROPEAN UNION’S COMMITMENT TO LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN EUROPE ARE FALLING VICTIM TO WIDENING INEQUALITIES, A MAJOR EU-WIDE REPORT CONCLUDES: 

FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS: EXPOSING INEQUALITIES IN EUROPE AND BEYOND’

The report shines a light on the impact of rising inequalities on people and planet. It maps the reality of various forms of inequality, both nationally and at the European level. It consists of 15 national reports and 11 thematic reports exploring key dimensions of inequality, including gender, age, disability, ethnicity and homelessness.

You can find the national reports in https://www.sdgwatcheurope.org/sdg10/.

Pushed to the wastelands: Environmental racism against Roma communities in Central and Eastern Europe.

The EEB published this new report that investigates the environmental racism faced by Europe’s Roma. By analysing numerous cases studies in Central and Eastern Europe, the report highlights a pattern of systemic and systematic discrimination against many Roma communities which pushes them out into marginal and polluted lands and neighbourhoods, and deprives them of access to basic environmental services and public utilities. This has severe repercussions for their health and welfare.

You can download the report here.

A toolkit for civil society willing to #FightInequalities is here:

As our factsheets explain, to #FightInequalities we will need:

Under the #FightInequalities campaign, we developed the game “17 steps to equality” that you can see on the right and download here. It follows the logic of a typical “snakes and ladders” game, each player will throw a die and advance following the arrows on the board. If they fall into a ladder they will climb thanks to a privilege. If they fall into a snake they will reverse and suffer from an inequality. Every time they step into a square, they will have to answer to a question related to an inequality story. Download the stories here (DE, FR, GR, IT, LI). For each SDG there are several stories. If the player answers correctly continue throwing the die, if not it it’s the next player turn. Good luck!

Infographics on inequalities in Spain are available here.
