Rechte der Opfer

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.

Wenn die Justizsysteme kindgerechter und kinderfreundlicher
gestaltet werden, so verbessert dies
den Schutz für Kinder, erleichtert deren sinnvolle
Beteiligung und verbessert zugleich die Arbeitsweise
der Justiz. Mit den in dieser Zusammenfassung
dargestellten Erkenntnissen erhalten die Mitgliedstaaten
ein hilfreiches Instrumentarium an die Hand,
mit dessen Unterstützung sich Hindernisse, Lücken
oder Schwachstellen bei Gerichtsverfahren – insbesondere
im Zuge der Umsetzung und Anwendung
der einschlägigen EU Richtlinien – ermitteln lassen.

Each year thousands of children take part in criminal and civil judicial proceedings, affected by parental divorce
or as victims or witnesses to crime. Such proceedings can be stressful for anyone. The European Union Agency
for Fundamental Rights (FRA) investigated whether children’s rights are respected in these proceedings.

In light of a lack of comparable data on the respect, protection and fulfilment of the fundamental rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons, FRA launched in 2012 its European Union (EU) online survey of LGBT persons’ experiences of discrimination, violence and harassment.

This FRA survey is the first of its kind on violence against women across the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is based on interviews with 42,000 women across the EU, who were asked about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, including incidents of intimate partner violence (‘domestic violence’).
