The creation of the Programme to Combat Racism (PCR) marked a turning point in the World Council of Churches' (WCC) longstanding opposition to racism. Since its inception, the PCR has been one of the most controversial of the WCC's initiatives. The initial five-year programme concentrated on white racism in South Africa. With the end of apartheid in South Africa, the PCR shifted its attention to the struggle of indigenous peoples and the problem of land rights, as well as to the plight of racially and ethnically oppressed minorities around the world.
