    Jewish People’s Experiences and Perceptions of Antisemitism

    Antisemitism is still a reality for many Jewish people in the EU today. Faced with prejudice and hostility, most feel unable to live openly Jewish lives. This report presents the results of FRA’s third EU survey of Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. The survey took place before the Hamas attacks in October 2023 and the war in Gaza; however, it includes evidence from a consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organisations since. It covers 13 EU Member States that together account for around 96 % of the EU’s Jewish population.

    LGBTIQ at a crossroads: progress and challenges

    FRA’s third LGBTIQ survey shows that people still experience hate-motivated violence and discrimination. Trans and intersex people face even greater victimisation. Yet, signs of progress show that the EU’s and Member States’ efforts can positively affect people’s lives. More LGBTIQ people are open about their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics.

    Addressing Racism in Policing

    Racism in the police can include discriminatory racial profiling practices through to excessive use of force. Incidents like these highlight deeper systemic issues that need addressing. Many in society are affected by racism in policing, not only the individuals or communities targeted. Lack of trust in policing can fuel social exclusion and damages the foundations of a fair and equal society, however promising practices are developing to address these issues. This is the first EU-wide report on racism in policing. FRA’s findings identify gaps in regulatory frameworks and propose concrete steps for action.

    Being Black in the EU – Experiences of people of African descent

    FRA's first Being Black in the EU report exposed widespread and entrenched racism against people of African descent in Europe. Now updated with new data, this report revisits the situation revealing persistent racial discrimination, harassment and violence. Overall, experiences of racial discrimination increased in the EU countries since 2016, reaching as high as 77%. The lack of progress is alarming despite binding anti-discrimination law in the EU since 2000 and significant EU policy developments since then.

Bekämpfung der Rassendiskriminierung

Die im Jahre 2000 verabschiedete Richtlinie zur Gleichbehandlung ohne Unterschied der Rasse (2000/43/EC) hat wichtige Veränderungen bei den Verfahren zur Bekämpfung der Rassendiskriminierung in der Europäischen Union herbeigeführt. Nur in wenigen EU-Mitgliedstaaten gab es bereits vor der Verabschiedung der Richtlinie detaillierte Rechtsvorschriften und Mechanismen gegen Rassendiskriminierung; die große Mehrzahl musste dagegen erhebliche Verbesserungen vornehmen, um die Auflagen der Richtlinie zu erfüllen.

Unbegleitete, asylsuchende Kinder in den Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union

Jahr für Jahr reisen Tausende unbegleitete Kinder in die Europäische Union (EU) ein. Dies stellt für die Organe der EU und die EU-Mitgliedstaaten eine große Herausforderung dar, da sie nach Maßgabe der Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union und den einschlägigen Bestimmungen des Übereinkommens der Vereinten Nationen über die Rechte des Kindes verpfl ichtet sind, die Fürsorge und den Schutz dieser Kinder zu gewährleisten. In diesem Bericht werden die Erfahrungen und Meinungen von 336 unbegleiteten,
asylsuchenden Kindern sowie von 302 Erwachsenen, die für ihre Betreuung zuständig sind, in zwölf EU-Mitgliedstaaten untersucht.

Police stops and minorities: understanding and preventing discriminatory ethnic profiling

When used as an investigation technique in the context of law enforcement, ethnic profiling is often referred to as “criminal profiling”. This type of profiling uses indicators such as physical features, appearance or behaviour to give a “suspect description”. Profiling becomes unlawful when it is discriminatory.
