In #Brussels, announced withdrawal of #Soros #Foundation leaves #NGOs reeling
source: lemonde.fr/en/international/ar…
"It was a shock. A total surprise," said Nick #Aiossa, acting director of the European office of #Transparency #International, one of the continent's leading NGOs fighting for the rule of law and against #corruption. At the end of June, the Open #Society Foundation (OSF), founded by #GeorgeSoros, decided to turn its back on 40 years of #investment in civil society in the heart of #Europe and redirect its funding towards #Ukraine, #Moldova, the #Balkans and the plight of the #Roma.

In Brussels, announced withdrawal of Soros Foundation leaves NGOs reeling
Every year, the Soros Foundation provides over €186 million in funding to a myriad of NGOs in the European Union. The position this private institution occupies in support of civil society is almost unique.Philippe Jacqué (Le Monde)
Forced #sterilization in the #CzechRepublic
Source: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Forced sterilisation, a serious violation of human rights, occurred across the former communist bloc, both during and after the socialist period. This #study examines the case of the #Czech Republic, where legislation regarding compensation to the victims of forced sterilisation was only passed in 2021, despite a 2005 finding by the Ombudsman that at least 50 women had been subject to the procedure. My research shows that long-standing discrimination against Roma people and public lack of interest in the issue were largely to blame for this delay.
