National Policy for a Society Free from Racism, Racial Discrimination and Xenophobia 2014-2015
The National Policy for a Society Free from Racism, Racial Discrimination and Xenophobia seeks to ensure that the policies and actions of the central Costa Rican system are based on the fight against racism and racial discrimination; and to promote a broad participation and contribution from different human rights sectors, cultural diversity, equality and gender equity, age, accessibility, and inclusive and sustainable development. At the same time, it seeks to integrate the concept of democratic institutionality as a fundamental pillar in the work of other state bodies. The Policy has a time horizon of 2025 and has prioritized groups at risk as well as vulnerable ones, namely: Afro-descendants, Indigenous or Native Peoples, Migrants and Refugees. The framework for the process of elaboration is called the National Plan against Racism and Racial Discrimination. As of May 23, 2012, 5 regional participatory workshops were held, with 38 representatives from the social groups concerned, as well as with the stakeholders involved in the implementation of the measures to combat racism and racial discrimination.
