Often living in substandard and overcrowded housing conditions, Roma and Travellers face an increased risk of contracting COVID-19. They are also disproportionately affected by measures taken to contain the virus. This FRA Bulletin takes a closer look at this reality in 15 EU Member States, focusing on education; employment; poverty; healthcare; housing; and anti-Gypsyism. It also outlines civil society efforts to tackle the diverse challenges triggered by the Coronavirus pandemic.
This report presents findings from FRA’s 2019 survey on Roma and Travellers in Belgium, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Antisemitism can be expressed in the form of verbal and physical attacks, threats, harassment, discrimination and unequal treatment, property damage and graffiti or other forms of speech or text, including on the internet.

As we enter the second half of 2020, the constraints on our daily lives brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic have become a firm reality. New local lockdowns and the reintroduction of restrictive measures prompted by fresh outbreaks of the virus are a stark reminder that COVID-19 continues to shape our lives – and our enjoyment of fundamental rights – in profound ways. There is compelling evidence of how the pandemic has exacerbated existing challenges in our societies. This FRA Bulletin outlines some of the measures EU Member States adopted to safely reopen their societies and economies while continuing to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. It highlights the impact these measures may have on civil, political and socioeconomic rights.

Denne rapport beskriver udvalgte resultater fra FRA’s anden store EU-dækkende undersøgelse af migranter og mindretal (EU-MIDIS II).

Across the EU, people of African descent face widespread and entrenched prejudice and exclusion. Racial discrimination and harassment are commonplace. Experiences with racist violence vary, but reach as high as 14 %. Discriminatory profiling by the police is a common reality.

Tässä raportissa esitellään yhteenveto Euroopan unionin perusoikeusviraston (FRA) toisesta laajamittaisesta EU:n laajuisesta maahanmuuttajia ja vähemmistöjä koskevasta kyselytutkimuksesta (EU-MIDIS II). Siinä tarkastellaan lähes 6 000 afrikkalaistaustaisen henkilön kokemuksia EU:n 12 jäsenvaltiossa. Tulokset osoittavat, että EU:ssa asuvat afrikkalaistaustaiset henkilöt kärsivät laajamittaisista ja sitkeistä ennakkoluuloista ja syrjäytymisestä vielä lähes 20 vuotta EU:n
syrjinnänvastaisen lainsäädännön hyväksymisen jälkeen
