Page 2 Preface Racism Report 2004
• 5 years ago ZARA was founded.
• For 5 years ZARA has provided counselling to both victims and witnesses of
racism.
• For 5 years ZARA has monitored racism and racist incidents.
• For 5 years ZARA has published the annual Report on Racism, the only source of
information on racism available in Austria to such a broad public.
For 5 years the Austrian federal government has consistently denied any financial
support to ZARA’s counselling centre for victims and witnesses of racism.
• Victims and witnesses of racism must not be left alone with their experiences,
the injustice they suffer and the humiliation.
• Racist acts of discrimination and racist structures must not be left unchallenged.
• Racism is not the victims’ problem but calls for the attention, civil courage and
response of all people.
• In a country where the state doesn’t feel responsible for the fight against racism,
civil society must act!
• The daily counselling of victims and witnesses of racism is made possible with
the help of our members and with generous donations.
ZARA is currently supported by 69 paying members — this is good but not good
enough. Please support our work by becoming a member of ZARA.
Please make donations to ensure that the next victim of racism can turn to ZARA
for help.
