Mission & Goals
FairSquare is a non-profit organisation. We combine thorough, hard-hitting research with impactful advocacy to promote systemic change and stop human rights abuses. We produce original findings to generate debate and shape narratives in our specialist areas of labour migration, political repression, and sport. We work mainly in Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. We work on three main issues: The rights of migrant workers: We challenge government policies that put low-paid migrant workers in wealthy countries at grave risk of abuse and exploitation. Political repression: We work with activists and victims of human rights abuses to push back against state repression. Accountability in sport: We promote better, more democratic governance to prevent sporting institutions contributing to harm and suffering.
EU Legislative Interests
Our main focus areas for our current and future engagement with EU institutions are: - human rights and the EU's external relations, including with regard to authoritarian states and support for human rights defenders; - EU laws and policies on fossil fuel advertising; - EU institutions and the governance of sporting bodies; and - the rights of migrant workers inside and outside the EU.
Communication Activities
We may publish research reports or hold events online or in person, with respect to the EU policies above.
