Anti-Racism
Anti-racism is a core tenet of ECCV’s work, and has been since our inception in 1974. We have contributed to a range of policy and advocacy initiatives and led a number of projects to strengthen the foundations for a Victoria that is inclusive, socially cohesive and safe and vibrant for all.
One of ECCV’s flagship anti-racism projects has been All One Together, which focused on supporting workplaces to advance their diversity and inclusion policies and practices. More than 25 organisations became All One Together ambassadors, taking the pledge to transform their workplaces into spaces that are culturally safe and inclusive.
We are currently partnering with the Islamic Council of Victoria on a Victoria University-led research project to better understand how to reduce barriers to reporting racism. Findings from the project will help inform recommendations on improving support services for Victorians who experience racism.
