In this episode of the EPI Podcast, we speak with Tamás Kádár, Co-Director of Equinet – European Network of Equality Bodies, about the state of equality in Europe and the crucial role equality bodies play in protecting fundamental rights.
Our guest highlights the growing backlash against equality and anti-discrimination efforts across Europe and speaks about the key challenges equality bodies face, including limited resources, political pressure, and data gaps.
We talk about the significance of the new EU directives (1499 & 1500) in reinforcing the independence and effectiveness of equality bodies, as well as what EU candidate countries must improve to align with European standards.
Check out our discussion on defending equality, even in an increasingly challenging climate.
