The project “Platform for Voice” provided a platform for marginalized voices and sought to combat the sexist, racist and xenophobic speech of those seeking (re)election in 2014. It facilitated discussions and identified common issues faced by organizations representing migrants and minorities across Greece, the UK, Italy and the Netherlands.
All participating organizations agreed on a list of between five and ten key messages and, together, created and implemented a communications plan to counteract racism and xenophobia and disseminate their collective findings to electoral, media and civil society organisations. The organizations produced a report on the project’s impact, how its key messages were advocated, and lessons for future elections.
