Concrete steps after apologies for the slavery past
Loading...

THE HAGUE / THE NETHERLANDS - A low-threshold subsidy scheme for social initiatives. Free of charge name change for descendants of enslaved people in both the European and Caribbean Netherlands. Extra attention to combating discrimination and racism. Investing in cultural heritage. And increasing knowledge about the impact of the slavery past. These are some of the concrete follow-up steps taken by the government since the Government's apology for the slavery past. The implementation of the space after 'the comma', is made through a careful process with great active involvement of descendants. This can be read in the progress letter on the slavery past program that the government sent to Parliament today.
