Key findings

The report presents findings from an in-depth qualitative study with victims of racism and discrimination in Luxembourg. It identifies different forms that racism and discrimination take in everyday social interactions, presents different trends observed by the main racialized groups, uncovers psychosocial dynamics of racism, and impact of racism and discrimination on victims. It also compiles recommendations put forward by victims. The report presents in subchapter "2.2.1.3 L’islamophobie et l’arabophobie" examples of anti-Muslim hatred and discrimination. For example, one interviewee explained the following at work: "One of them never called me by my first name, it was always the Arab or the Muslim, sometimes he also called me the Taliban because I had a bit of a beard" (man, 30-39 years old, North African, low-skilled job).
