Welcome to Equitas

At Equitas, we are committed to fighting racism and Islamophobia, defending the rights and dignity of people who are victims of discrimination. Incorporated as a non-profit association (ASBL) based in Brussels, Belgium, our mission is to provide free legal assistance, information and support to those who consider themselves victims of discrimination linked to Islamophobia.

Our mission

Our mission is to oppose all forms of discrimination and violence directed against individuals because of their real or assumed membership of the Muslim religion. We strive to create a society where everyone, regardless of their religious beliefs, can live in dignity and without fear of discrimination or prejudice.

What we do

  1. Legal Assistance: We offer free legal advice and assistance to people facing discrimination due to Islamophobia. Our dedicated team of legal experts works tirelessly to provide the best possible support to help victims assert their rights and obtain justice.
  2. Awareness and Education: Equitas is dedicated to raising awareness of the problems of racism and Islamophobia. We organize workshops, seminars and community events to educate the public and promote understanding and tolerance.
  3. Advocacy and Policy Change: We work with policy-makers, institutions and other organizations to advocate stronger laws and policies to protect individuals from discrimination. Our aim is to influence positive change at local and national levels.
  4. Research and Reports: We conduct research and publish reports on the state of Islamophobia in Europe. Our annual reports provide valuable insights and statistics that help inform our advocacy and public awareness efforts.
