«Rassismusvorfälle aus der Beratungsarbeit» des Beratungsnetzes für Rassismusopfer

Once a year, an evaluation report is compiled and published detailing cases of counselling and reported incidents of racism by the Beratungsnetz für Rassismusopfer (Counselling Network for Victims of Racism). Entitled «Rassismusvorfälle aus der Beratungsarbeit» (Incidents of racism reported during counselling), it is based on information held in the anonymized section of the DOSyRa database. When entering data, the cantonal counselling centres have to categorize their cases in accordance with an analytical grid, and the evaluation report is produced on the basis of this information.
