Key findings

This report, compiled by the Belgian equality centre Unia, presents information regarding the cases opened, handled, and/or monitored by Unia during 2023. The findings are general, as they do not focus on differences between migration backgrounds, beliefs, or other factors. It shows that 60% of closed cases involve discrimination, while the remainder covers hate crimes and hate speech. Regarding religion, hate speech cases primarily involve incitement to hatred, discrimination, violence, or verbal insults. While the report provides an overall picture, it offers limited specific information regarding the Muslim community.
