136<p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">We are a group of European-based journalists working together to unravel a modern form of slavery: the use of cheap labor from China in the “fast fashion” production industries in Italy. This project aims to uncover the stories of these anonymous Chinese people who travel vast distances only to be kept in poor working conditions. We will build on previous investigations into human rights violations and transnational human trafficking that have already been conducted. We will analyze the impact of this type of labor on the industry and more specifically on Italy’s economic landscape. <br><br>
137We will also look at other forms of possible criminality related to China's Belt and Road development and infrastru
137cture initiative.

181<p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">The famous writer George Orwell once said: ”Who controls the past, controls the future.” In recent years, rewriting the past has become a favorite pastime of Hungarian and Romanian politicians as they seek to boost their credentials as true patriots. How have they done it and how successful have they been? A team of Hungarian and Romanian journalists aims to investigate the ways in which official policies have  manipulated the past in their respective countries, not only distorting the public’s view of history, but also deterring critical thinking. </p><p><span class="mf" data-toggle="tooltip" title="" data-original-title="Press Start will match all contributions made to the campaign, so your donations will go twice as far.">MF</span> <i>Through a grant from the European Commission (EC), we will match every amount you donate, up to 2,000 euros total.

224<p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">Women’s health is often overlooked and mistreated. One of the most common chronic conditions is endometriosis, a disease of the female reproductive systems. Endometriosis is as common as diabetes, affecting one in 10 women worldwide, yet hardly anyone has heard about it.<br><br>
225Two journalists in the UK and Kosovo aim to analyze why endometriosis is still taboo. In collaboration with an endometriosis organization in the Czech Republic, they will discuss how women activists are fighting for change.

312<p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">We are at a turning point that will potentially decide the future of nuclear power in Europe for generations. The ‘Green Taxonomy’ on sustainable finance is a European set of policy initiatives that aim for climate neutrality by 2050. It will create a system that environmentalists have been demanding for decades, designed to direct investments towards climate-friendly industries and end greenwashing activities that actually harm the environment. Last year, the leaders of seven member states wrote a letter to the European Commission calling for the inclusion of nuclear power in the list of climate-friendly, sustainable activities that will receive investment; a group of 87 members of the European Parliament did the same. A team of journalists will fact-check the claims in the letter by asking a range of independent nuclear and economic experts to weigh in on the pressing  debate about the ”greenness” of nuclear power.</p><p><span class="mf" data-toggle="tooltip" title="" data-original-title="Press Start will match all contributions made to the campaign, so your donations will go twice as far.">MF</span> <i>Through a grant from the European Commission (EC), we will match every amount you donate, up to 2,000 euros total.

357<p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">With the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Europe is tackling yet another migration crisis. This time, the media’s language toward refugees seems more humane than it was in 2015.
358<br>
359Three journalists from the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Greece have joined forces to uncover the reasons why the media dehumanizes diverse groups of refugees. We will investigate the media’s role and interview migrants, social workers, political scientists, and historians to understand the reasons behind the growth of anti-migrant policies and discrimination against different ethnic, religious, and linguistic groups of migrants; and how and why they have been reflected in the media.

But who are the firms that are receiving the funds? Are their products overpriced? Are suspicions of corruption well-founded? Two investigative journalists from Romania and one from Bulgaria are ready to trace the money trail and find out whether the recovery funds from the EU budget were spent appropriately or not. We expect to deliver a series of articles and a step-by-step blueprint for how such investigations can be replicated in any EU member state.</p><p><span class="mf" data-toggle="tooltip" title="" data-original-title="Press Start will match all contributions made to the campaign, so your dollars will go twice as far.">MF</span> <i>Through a grant from the European Commission (EC), we will match every amount you donate, up to 1,000 euros total.

505</div>
506<div class="col-md-6">
507<h4>Outreach</h4>
508<p>We will search out and highlight reporters who would not have the capacity (international contacts, language skills, promotional experience) to crowdfund on their own.</p>
509</div>
510<div class="col-md-6">
511<h4>Careful Screening</h4>
512<p>We will profile only those journalists who have been vetted for their independence and the quality of their reporting, working hand-in-hand with our local partners.</p>
513</div>
514<div class="col-md-6">
515<h4>A Personal Touch</h4>
516<p>We will create evocative profiles of journalists, with extensive information on them and their commitment to report despite obstacles, to better resonate with potential donors.</p>
