European Dignity Watch
European Dignity Watch is one of the most prominent and active anti-human rights NGOs operating at the EU level.
European Dignity Watch provides policy analysis and research on issues of anti-discrimination legislation and bio-ethical topics such as abortion. The organisation has established a network of NGOs and experts who meet with MEPs and EU officials to provide them with scientific analysis and research from an antichoice point of view. In addition, the organisation played a vital role in the One of Us campaign, particularly concerning the EU’s funding of pro-SRHR initiatives in the developing world.
European Dignity Watch is also a key driving force in organising letters signed by European conservative Christian NGOs to be sent to EU officials protesting against pro-SRHR and LGBTI-rights initiatives at EU level.
