Hawzah News Agency- The international human rights group called on Denmark to implement an action plan against racism, which should bring about a higher "representation of employees from Muslim and other minority backgrounds in roles such as law enforcement officers and teachers."

According to national broadcaster DR, the council also recommended that the action plan must "prevent anti-Muslim racism and discrimination."

The previous Danish government initiated an action plan against racism in 2022 after getting a consensus from the parliament. It has been now two years since the start of the action plan.

The Council of Europe's recommendations come in light of recent reports highlighting the challenges faced by Muslims in Denmark.

The European Islamophobia Report 2022 identified Denmark, along with France and Austria, as one of the most challenging countries for Muslims.
