The Centre for Advanced Studies in Fundamental Human Rights and in Ethical Fashion monitors the crucial issues of diversity, discrimination, and inclusion, conveying the results of its studies to the Italian National Office Against Racial Discrimination under the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (UNAR) and to relevant European institutions such as the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), the Council of Europe Steering Committee on Anti-Discrimination, Diversity and Inclusion (CDADI), and the European Fashion Alliance. It also proposes concrete solutions to resolve these issues.

The Centre is supported by legislation such as the ILO Declaration and Article 3 of the Italian Constitution, which calls for equal rights for citizens as inspired by the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was approved by the United Nations on 10 December 1948. However, it maintains that fashion should not only pursue these objectives based on national policy, but also uphold equality and diversity as a system in itself.

More specifically, with the support of specialists and experts in the sector, the The Centre for Advanced Studies in Fundamental Human Rights and in Ethical Fashion:

• studies the extent and evolution of racism and xenophobia in fashion-related activities, analysing their causes, consequences, and effects through a European network of discrimination information, which collects reports on an international level;
• provides assistance to victims of discrimination;
   
• investigates the existence of discrimination with respect for the prerogative of legal authorities;
   
• conducts awareness campaigns to promote a culture of respect for human rights and equal opportunities, the recognition of and respect for experiences different from our own, and reporting of all social discrimination leading to privileges for some and disadvantages for others.
