    Muslimas und Muslime, die in der EU leben, werden in den unterschiedlichsten Situationen diskriminiert – insbesondere bei der Arbeitsplatzsuche, am Arbeitsplatz selbst und bei dem Versuch, Zugang zu öffentlichen oder privaten Dienstleistungen zu erlangen. Der Bericht untersucht, wie persönliche Merkmale – etwa der Vor- und Familienname oder die Hautfarbe einer Person – und das sichtbare Tragen religiöser Symbole, wie zum Beispiel ein Kopftuch zu diskriminierender Behandlung und Belästigung führen können.

    Up to one third of migrants arriving in the European Union since the summer of 2015 have been children. The current emphasis on speedier asylum processing and making returns more effective may trigger increased use of immigration detention, possibly also affecting children. The detention of children implicates various fundamental rights and will only be in line with EU law if limited to exceptional cases. This report aims to support practitioners in implementing relevant polices in line with applicable law by outlining available safeguards against unlawful and arbitrary detention and highlighting promising practices.

    Around 2.5 million children participate in judicial proceedings across the European Union (EU) every year, affected by parental divorce or as victims of, or witnesses to, crime. Although their effective participation in such proceedings is vital for improving the operation of justice, the treatment of children in justice systems remains a concern. FRA investigated to what extent children’s rights to be heard, to be informed, to be protected, and to non-discrimination are fulfilled in practice.
    The Agency’s Director, Michael O’Flaherty, took part in a meeting of the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) on 9 February.

    In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass 80 % der befragten Roma unterhalb der Armutsgefährdungsschwelle ihres Landes leben,
    dass jeder/jede dritte Roma in einer Unterkunft ohne Leitungswasser lebt, dass jedes dritte Roma-Kind in einem Haushalt
    lebt, in dem in den vergangenen Monaten mindestens einmal jemand hungrig zu Bett ging, und dass Roma-Kinder bei allen
    Bildungsindikatoren schlechter dastehen als ihre Altersgenossen, die keine Roma sind, belegt dieser Bericht eine erschütternde,
    doch unabweisbare Realität: Die größte ethnische Minderheit der Europäischen Union kämpft nach wie vor mit nicht
    hinnehmbarer Diskriminierung und ist bei der Versorgung mit lebensnotwendigen Diensten benachteiligt.

    Media content and political discourse in EU Member States, whether online or
    offline, show incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence on different
    grounds, as evidence collected by FRA reveals. The growing reliance on the internet as the main source of
    information for many enables the fast spread of often unverified statements
    that could also incite to hatred.
    Das Übereinkommen der Vereinten Nationen über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen (UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention) ist das erste verbindliche internationale Menschenrechtsinstrument, das speziell den Bereich Behinderung behandelt. Zweck dieses Übereinkommens ist es, „den vollen und gleichberechtigten Genuss aller Menschenrechte und Grundfreiheiten durch alle Menschen mit Behinderungen zu fördern, zu schützen und zu gewährleisten und die Achtung der ihnen innewohnenden Würde zu fördern“.

    Hate crime is the most severe expression of discrimination, and a core fundamental rights abuse. Various initiatives target such crime, but most hate crime across the EU remains unreported and unprosecuted, leaving victims without redress. To counter this trend, it is essential for Member States to improve access to justice for victims. Drawing on interviews with representatives from criminal courts, public prosecutors’ offices, the police, and NGOs involved in supporting hate crime victims, this report sheds light on the diverse hurdles that impede victims’ access to justice and the proper recording of hate crime.
