    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.

    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.

    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.

    Menschen afrikanischer Abstammung stoßen EU-weit auf ausgeprägte und tief sitzende Vorurteile und Ausgrenzung. Rassendiskriminierung
    und rassistisch motivierte Belästigung
    sind an der Tagesordnung. Die Erfahrungen mit rassistisch
    motivierter Gewalt nehmen unterschiedliche
    Formen an, betreffen jedoch immerhin 14 %.
    Diskriminierendes Profiling durch die Polizei gehört
    ebenfalls zum Alltag. Die Hindernisse, die einer Integration
    im Weg stehen, sind vielfältig, insbesondere
    dann, wenn es um die Suche nach Arbeitsplätzen
    und Wohnraum geht.

    This annual overview provides an update of the most recent figures on antisemitic incidents, covering the period 1 January 2008 – 31 December 2018, across the EU Member States, where data are available. It includes a section that presents evidence from international organisations. In addition, for the first time, it provides an overview of how Member States that have adopted or endorsed the non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) (2016) use or intend to use it.

    FRA’s second EU Minorities and Discrimination survey (EU-MIDIS II) collected information from over 25,000 respondents with different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds across all 28 EU Member States. The main findings from the survey, published in 2017, pointed to a number of differences in the way women and men with immigrant backgrounds across the European Union (EU) experience how their rights are respected. This report summarises some of the most relevant survey findings in this regard, which show the need for targeted, gender-sensitive measures that promote the integration of – specifically – women who are immigrants or descendants of immigrants.

    Der Leitfaden Kinder ohne elterliche Fürsorge, die in einem anderen EU-Mitgliedstaat als ihrem
    eigenen angetroffen werden hat das Ziel, die Handlungsfähigkeit aller im Bereich Kinderschutz
    tätigen Akteure zu stärken. Der Schutz dieser Mädchen und Jungen ist von höchster Bedeutung und
    stellt für die EU-Mitgliedstaaten eine Verpflichtung dar, die sich aus dem internationalen und dem
    europäischen Rechtsrahmen ableitet. Der vorliegende Leitfaden legt den Schwerpunkt auf Kinder,
    die Opfer von Menschenhandel geworden sind oder Gefahr laufen, dies zu werden, indem auf die
    Umsetzung der Ziele eingegangen wird, die in der Mitteilung der Kommission zur Berichterstattung
    über die Folgemaßnahmen zur Strategie der EU zur Beseitigung des Menschenhandels von
    2017 beschrieben wurden. Dabei werden ermittelte Muster beleuchtet, auch im Hinblick auf die
    geschlechtsspezifischen Besonderheiten von Straftaten.

    Algorithms used in machine learning systems and artificial intelligence (AI) can only be as good as the data used for their development. High quality data are essential for high quality algorithms. Yet, the call for high quality data in discussions around AI often remains without any further specifications and guidance as to what this actually means.

    Hasskriminalität gehört in der gesamten Europäischen Union (EU) zum Alltag. Das bestätigen zwei neue Berichte der Agentur der Europäischen Union für Grundrechte (FRA). Zu Hasskriminaliät zählen Gewalt und Straftaten, die durch Rassismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit, religiöse Intoleranz oder durch eine Behinderung, die sexuelle Ausrichtung oder Geschlechtsidentität einer Person motiviert sind. Sie fügen aber nicht nur den unmittelbaren Opfern Schaden zu, sondern treffen auch das Herz des EU-Engagements für Demokratie und die Grundrechte auf Gleichberechtigung und Nichtdiskriminierung.
