It also covered rights awareness, knowledge of equality bodies and (under)reporting of discrimination, hate crime, racial profiling and racism in policing, racist hatred online and bias in algorithms, and the pressures facing civil society organisations. 

In addition, it touches on equality data and fundamental rights-based approach in monitoring and evaluation.
