    This report presents findings from FRA’s 2021 survey on Roma in Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Spain, as well as in North Macedonia and Serbia. The survey includes interviews with more than 8,400 Roma, collecting information on more than 20,000 individuals living in their households. By focusing on Roma, the survey provides unique data and information that are not available from European general population surveys, which do not disaggregate on grounds of ethnic origin. The findings present a bleak but familiar picture of exclusion, deprivation, discrimination and racism.

Im Jahr 2014 stellten die Mitgliedstaaten und Institutionen der Europäische Union (EU) eine Reihe von rechtlichen und politischen
Maßnahmen vor, um die Grundrechte in der EU zu gewährleisten. Trotz dieser Bemühungen bleibt immer noch viel
zu tun. In einigen Bereichen ist die Situation beunruhigend: die Zahl der MigrantInnen, die gerettet oder auf See festgenommen
wurden, als sie die Grenzen der EU versuchten zu erreichen, vervierfachte sich seit 2013; mehr als ein Viertel der Kinder
in der EU sind von Armut oder sozialer Ausgrenzung bedroht; immer mehr politische Parteien verwenden fremdenfeindliche
und gegen MigrantInnen gerichtete Rhetorik in ihren Kampagnen, was dazu führen kann, dass mehr Personen anfälliger
werden, Opfer von Straftaten oder Hassverbrechen zu werden.
Europe and the world celebrated the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 2014. Despite considerable progress in those 25 years, some old challenges remain and new ones have arisen. The latest data show that 27.6 % of children in Europe – more than 26 million – are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Many families with children have difficulties paying for their rent or mortgage, heating, school materials and even food. The legal protection of child victims of violence or sexual abuse and children without parental care was significantly reinforced and relevant policies were developed.
EU Member States continued their efforts to improve Roma integration by implementing their national Roma integration strategies following the Council Recommendation of December 2013 on effective Roma integration measures. FRA supports these efforts by regularly collecting data and working with the Member States to develop monitoring methods that allow for efficient reporting on the situation of Roma in the Member States over time.
To strengthen the European Union’s evidence base on fundamental rights helps to identify how these rights are respected and promoted, not only ‘on paper’ but ‘on the ground’. Fundamental rights are part of the founding values of the European Union (EU) that are minimum standards to which the EU’s institutions and Member States are held accountable and which they should respect and promote. Mainstreaming fundamental rights can help turning words into action, especially if linked to relevant indicators.
Barriers persist in implementing effectively European Union (EU) legislation that prohibits and penalises manifestations of racism, xenophobia and ethnic discrimination. The sixth year of the economic crisis and turbulent developments in the Middle East and North Africa are raising concerns and considerations for migration and integration policies in the EU.

This report presents the results of the European Union Agency’s for Fundamental Rights (FRA) 2011 Roma survey on poverty and employment, which show, for example, that although most Roma are actively seeking a job, only about a third of those surveyed has paid work, which is often precarious and informal. It reveals multiple challenges:very low employment rates were observed, in particular for young Roma.

Die Europäische Union (EU) und ihre Mitgliedstaaten haben 2013 eine Vielzahl wichtiger Schritte zum Schutz und zur Förderung der Grundrechte gesetzt, indem sie neue internationale Verpflichtungen eingegangen sind, Rechtsvorschriften überarbeitet und innovative politische Strategien vor Ort verfolgt haben. Dennoch gerieten Grundrechtsverletzungen mit besorgniserregender Häufigkeit in die Schlagzeilen: Flüchtlinge, die vor den Küsten Europas ertranken, beispiellose Massenüberwachung, rassistisch und extremistisch motivierte Morde, Kinderarmut und Benachteiligung der Roma.

Steigende Arbeitslosenquoten, Sparmaßnahmen, öffentliche Proteste, soziale Unruhen und Verfassungskrisen beherrschten 2012 in der gesamten Europäischen Union (EU) weitgehend die Schlagzeilen. Die Krise, der die EU seit 2007 gegenübersteht, ist nicht nur finanzieller Natur. Sie wirkt sich auch auf die demokratische Legitimität und die Rechtsstaatlichkeit und damit auf die Achtung der Grundrechte aus. Der Themenschwerpunkt des dies jährigen Jahresberichts lautet daher „Die Europäische Wertegemeinschaft: Der Schutz der Grundrechte in Krisenzeiten“. Damit wird an den letztjährigen Themenschwerpunkt, die Grundrechtelandschaft in der EU, angeknüpft.

Certain people are seen as particularly vulnerable to unequal treatment, because they share a combination of characteristics that may trigger discrimination. A Roma woman sterilised without her informed consent, for example, has suffered discrimination not just because of her sex, as all women do not face this treatment, nor just because she is Roma, as Roma men may not face this treatment. The discriminatory treatment is based specifically on the intersection of her sex and ethnic origin.

Ungeachtet intensiver Bemühungen der Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union (EU) ist es bisher nicht gelungen, Diskriminierung und Intoleranz wirksam zu bekämpfen, wie die Forschungsarbeiten der FRA belegen. Durch Vorurteile motivierte Beschimpfungen, körperliche Angriffe und Morde treffen die europäische Gesellschaft in all ihrer Vielfalt – von sichtbaren Minderheiten bis hin zu Menschen mit Behinderungen. Dieser FRA-Bericht soll die EU und ihre Mitgliedstaaten dabei unterstützen, gegen diese Grundrechtsverletzungen vorzugehen. Zu diesem Zweck müssen Hassdelikte verstärkt sichtbar gemacht und die Täterinnen und Täter zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden.
