Key findings

The issue of underreporting remains a serious concern. The populations of Arabs, Africans or people of Afro-descendant descent, Latin Americans, and Gypsies reported the highest number of incidents. It highlighted a restricted efficacy of Spanish anti-discrimination laws, particularly when it comes to penalizing discriminatory agents and making amends for the harm caused by the absence of the Independent Authority for the Equal Treatment, which will significantly ease the implementation of the aforementioned Law and the work of the Service for Assistance and Guidance to Victims of Racial or Ethnic Discrimination in the Performance of their Mandates. Likewise, it is necessary to greater awareness of society to avoid discriminatory attitudes.
