    Antisemitism is still a reality for many Jewish people in the EU today. Faced with prejudice and hostility, most feel unable to live openly Jewish lives. This report presents the results of FRA’s third EU survey of Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. The survey took place before the Hamas attacks in October 2023 and the war in Gaza; however, it includes evidence from a consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organisations since. It covers 13 EU Member States that together account for around 96 % of the EU’s Jewish population.

    Menores privados del cuidado parental al encontrarse en un Estado miembro de la Unión Europea
    distinto del suyo tiene por objeto reforzar la respuesta de todos los agentes pertinentes en la
    protección de menores. La protección de esos niños y niñas es fundamental, así como una obligación
    para los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea (UE) que emana del marco jurídico internacional
    y europeo. La guía se centra en los menores víctimas de la trata y en riesgo, por lo que aplica una
    medida expuesta en la Comunicación de 2017 sobre la intensificación de la actuación de la UE contra
    la trata de seres humanos, y tiene en cuenta los patrones identificados, como los relativos a la

    This paper discusses the evolution of European Court of Human Rights case law relating
    to hate crime, providing an update on the most recent rulings. Approaching hate crime
    from a fundamental rights perspective, it shows how Member State authorities’ duty to
