All these activities and measures have a common denominator: scientific knowledge. Information from (population) statistics and scientific research is a first means of exposing the often invisible underlying processes of discrimination. In this way we can tackle discrimination more efficiently, in a more targeted and, most of all, more substantiated way.

Unia wants to play a pioneering role in this. By giving a detailed view of its cases using numbers. By developing statistical resources itself, under the banner of 'To measure is to know'. And by assembling statistical sources from other institutions and organisations.
