Civil society organisations (CSOs) play a critical role in democracies, and the
importance of their work is widely recognised in international legal and policy
documents. However, they face many obstacles when it comes to their day-to-day
work, ranging from changes in the legal environment, challenges in finding and
accessing resources, to obstacles in accessing policymaking, and threats and attacks.
The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) cooperates closely with civil
society organisations working on human rights in the European Union. A FRA report
from January 2018 looked into the different types and patterns of challenges that CSOs
working on human rights face in the EU. In September 2018, FRA carried out an online
consultation with its civil society network, the Fundamental Rights Platform (FRP), to
complement the findings of its report. The results of the online consultation confirm
earlier messages and point to the need to provide civil society with the resources and
the ‘safe space’ that it needs to flourish and operate. This paper summarises the
consultation’s key findings, including relevant points from FRA’s 2018 Fundamental
Rights Forum.
