Dutch Civil Society in Action in 2025: Building a Resilient Civic Space

MACS: Monitoring Action for Civic Space is a framework that monitors civic freedoms across EU countries, crucial for civil society groups and individuals to maintain fundamental freedoms. Aicha Chaghouani, Advocacy and Partnership Manager at the Netherlands Helsinki Committee, discusses how recent legislative changes and rising hostility toward watchdog organisations have put Dutch civil society under pressure. She explains how these developments challenge the ability of activists to hold institutions accountable and why proactive monitoring and policy engagement are critical for safeguarding democratic norms. The MACS: Monitoring Action for Civic Space is co-funded by the European Union. It is implemented by the European Center for Not-for-Profit Law, European Civic Forum, Bulgarian Center for Not-for-Profit Law, Foreningen Nyt Europa, Le Mouvement associatif, Okotars Alapitvany, Stichting Nederlands Helsinki Comite, Ogolnopolska Federacja Organizacji Pozarzadowych, Fundația pentru Dezvoltarea Societății Civile.
