Juhendi „Vanemliku hoolitsuseta lapsed, kes leitakse ELi liikmesriigist, mis ei ole nende
päritoluliikmesriik“ eesmärk on tõhustada kõigi lastekaitsega tegelevate üksuste tegevust. Selliste
tüdrukute ja poiste kaitsmine on väga tähtis. See on ka ELi liikmesriikide kohustus, mis tuleneb
rahvusvahelisest ja Euroopa õigusraamistikust. Juhendis pööratakse eritähelepanu inimkaubanduse
lapsohvritele ja ohus olevatele lastele ning sellega viiakse ellu meede, mis nähti ette 2017. aasta
teatises inimkaubanduse vastaste ELi meetmete tugevdamise kohta, võttes arvesse kindlakstehtud
mustreid, sealhulgas kuritegevuse soolist eripära.
How much progress can we expect in a decade? Various rights-related instruments had been in place for 10 years in 2018, prompting both sobering and encouraging reflection on this question.
2018. aasta tähendas põhiõiguste kaitse jaoks nii edusamme kui ka tagasilööke. Euroopa Liidu Põhiõiguste Ameti (FRA) 2019. aasta põhiõiguste aruandes esitatakse ülevaade valdkonna peamistest arengusuundadest, tuues esile saavutused ja endiselt probleemsena püsivad valdkonnad. Selles väljaandes esitatakse FRA arvamused peamiste hõlmatud teemavaldkondade arengu kohta ja neid arvamusi toetavate tõendite kokkuvõte.
Almost 25 million children under 18 are at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the EU. Poverty deprives children of educational
opportunities, childcare, access to health care, adequate food and housing, family support and even protection from violence.
This report outlines data and survey findings that highlight the magnitude of child poverty in the EU, but also presents tools
available to counter this phenomenon and keep track of progress made.
In November 2017, the European Commission requested FRA’s support in evaluating the impact on fundamental rights of the European Border Surveillance System (Eurosur) Regulation. Further to this request, FRA reviewed the work of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and analysed cooperation agreements concluded by EU Member States with third countries which are relevant for the exchange of information for the purposes of Eurosur. This report presents the main findings of such review.
Across the European Union, Member States are faced with the challenge of integrating Europe’s most deprived
and disenfranchised minority groups. As a follow up to the EU-MIDIS II findings on Roma, this report presents
FRA’s findings relating to the issues of education and employment. Encouraging Roma participation in education
and employment equips communities with higher incomes, better life opportunities and greater social inclusion.
European societies are not getting any younger! It is a simple truth we must face both about ourselves and Europe as a whole. In two generations, by 2080, those aged 65 or above will account for almost 30% of the European Union’s population.
The year 2017 brought both progress and setbacks in terms of rights protection. The European Pillar of Social Rights marked an important move towards a more ‘social Europe’. But, as experiences with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights underscore, agreement on a text is merely a first step. Even in its eighth year as the EU's binding bill of rights, the Charter's potential was not fully exploited, highlighting the need to more actively promote its use.
The methods used to determine the age of
an applicant may include “invasive” medical tests which interfere with the rights of the child, including their right to dignity,
integrity and privacy. It is often a challenge to find the right balance between protecting children from harm and promoting
their participation in these procedures. This report provides important insights and identifies the implications of collecting
children’s biometric data and conducting age assessments.
