Policy Watch
Dog Unit.
A future monitoring and research arm. It tracks whether institutions actually follow equality duties and human-rights obligations, and publishes clear public reporting when they fail.
Why this unit is needed
Promises without results are not commitments
Institutions make commitments. They sign conventions, adopt equality plans, publish inclusion policies, and make public statements about human rights and dignity.
And then, often, nothing changes. Or things change slowly, selectively, or when there is a public backlash.
The gap is not always dishonesty
The unit exists to notice the gap between promise and practice, and make it public.
Core functions
What the unit will do
Track implementation gaps.
Systematic monitoring of whether institutions follow their stated equality duties, human-rights obligations, and their own protocols. Across municipal, national, and EU levels.
