The Fundamental Rights Report 2025 provides a comprehensive overview of the state of fundamental rights in the European Union, highlighting major developments and trends in 2024.
An introductory chapter provides an overview of the fundamental rights landscape in the EU in 2024 in the changing political climate. Highlighting areas of major developments or concern from the perspective of fundamental rights, it touches on the rise of racism and hate crime, rights abuses at the EU’s borders, and the growing role of digitalisation and artificial intelligence in today’s societies.
The remaining chapters cover issues such as inclusive elections, gender-based violence, and the implementation of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. They offer new research and analysis of the progress made. The report highlights the major EU policymaking developments to address these issues and the gaps that remain. It presents FRA’s opinions on these developments, setting out the actions that should be taken by the EU and Member States.
The Fundamental Rights Report 2025 is a valuable resource for those seeking to stay informed about the EU’s shifting landscape of fundamental rights. It supports policymakers, practitioners, and civil society organisations working to promote and protect fundamental rights.
