KISA (NGO)

The Movement for Equality, Support, Anti-Racism (Greek: Κίνηση για Ισότητα, Στήριξη, Αντιρατσισμό, abbr. ΚΙΣΑ - KISA), is a Cypriot Non-Governmental Organisation. It was founded in 1998 in response to changes in Cypriot society, which saw large waves of immigration from Eastern European and Third World countries.

KISA has two main remits. Firstly, it is the leading charity to campaign against discrimination in all forms on the island, including racism and sex trafficking, including running the annual Action Week against Racism within the framework of the European Network Against Racism. Secondly, it operates Support Centres which provide free legal and social services, guidance and advice to migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Cyprus.
