Key findings

The Shelter project surveys how prepared the Hungarian health care system is to deal with hate crimes. The report summarizes its findings as follows: „In relation to the question of which groups they think are most at risk of becoming victims of hate crimes in Hungary, Roma and homeless people were mentioned most frequently, followed by LGBTQI people, and Arab and African migrants. Only a few professionals mentioned people with disabilities and Muslim people.” The authors conclude that hate crime is indeed present, but it is also realised that „two out of three respondents think that victims never or rarely report hate crimes” (35.p.). Recommendations are formulated for the government, healthcare providers, universities and research institutions and civil society organizations.

Methodology (Qualitative/Quantitative and exact type used, questionnaires etc)

Qualitative analysis, desktop research, interviews and survey research was carried out.
