The Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme for the period 2014 to 2020

This procedure establishes a dedicated EU funding programme designed to promote and protect fundamental rights, non-discrimination, and EU citizenship. It aims to ensure that the rights guaranteed by the EU Charter are effectively implemented across member states, fostering a more inclusive and fair society.

The programme supports initiatives benefiting marginalized groups, including children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and victims of trafficking, while enhancing data protection and consumer rights for all EU citizens.
