A new digital platform designed to support victims of racism and discrimination in Greece has been launched by the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family, the Greek National Commission for Human Rights (GNCHR / EEDA), and KMOP - Social Action and Innovation Centre.
According to the organisations involved, the platform, named Racism Victim Support, aims to serve as a centralised resource of "reliable information and guidance" for individuals seeking help in recognising and responding to discriminatory incidents.
The website provides information on organisations and support structures that victims can contact, including practical details such as addresses, phone numbers and other contact points for relevant services and support centres. It also outlines the legal rights of individuals affected by racist incidents, with the aim of informing users about the protections available under Greek law and how to access them.
In addition, it offers guides and resources intended to help both victims and professionals understand how to respond to hate crimes, access justice and navigate available support systems. Alongside this, the platform provides step-by-step guidance on recognising discriminatory incidents and explains what actions can be taken, including how and where to report cases.
The platform is accessible in 11 languages, including Greek, English, French, Ukrainian, Farsi, Dari, Arabic, Urdu, Albanian, Pashto, and Turkish.
The launch takes place at a time when, according to a 2025 Ecosystem survey, nearly 8 in 10 people in Greece report experiencing some form of discrimination. The platform is introduced as a response to this situation, aiming to facilitate access to support services and raise awareness of available resources.
The platform was developed by KMOP as part of the European project "ECOSYSTEM: Strengthening Public Authorities' Capacity to Respond to Intersectional Discrimination through Multi-Agency Coalitions." The project is co-funded by the European Union's CERV programme (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values).
According to the project partners, the broader initiative aims to enhance public authorities' capacity in Greece to identify and effectively respond to incidents of racism, intolerance, and intersectional discrimination.
