Égalité, non-discrimination et racisme

Women and girls in the European Union (EU) experience persistent gender discrimination and gender-based violence, as evidence collected by FRA confirms. This severely limits the ability of women and girls to enjoy their rights and to participate on an equal footing in society. This FRA contribution to the third Annual Colloquium on Fundamental Rights ‘Women's rights in turbulent times’ looks at core human rights commitments. It balances these against selected evidence on gender discrimination, sexist hate speech and gender-based violence against women and girls in the EU.

International treaties, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, European Union (EU) secondary law and national legislation provide a number of rights to citizens. The maps and tables presented show the various patterns concerning age requirements for children to acquire rights in the EU. They also identify inconsistencies, protection gaps and restrictions deriving from different age thresholds. The reference period was until April 2016. Any legislative developments since then have been included whenever relevant or if known.

This report provides an overview of data on antisemitism as recorded by
international organisations and by official and unofficial sources in the 28 European
Union (EU) Member States, based on their own definitions and categorisations.

Les musulmans qui vivent dans l’Union européenne sont confrontés à la discrimination dans de nombreuses circonstances, en particulier lorsqu’ils cherchent un emploi, qu’ils travaillent ou qu’ils essaient d’accéder à des services publics ou privés. Ce rapport examine la manière dont des caractéristiques telles que le prénom et le nom d’une personne, la couleur de la peau et le fait de porter des symboles religieux visibles (le foulard par exemple) peuvent déclencher un comportement discriminatoire ou de harcèlement.

Antisemitism can be expressed in the form of verbal and physical attacks, threats,
harassment, property damage and graffiti or other forms of text, including on the
internet. The present report relates to manifestations of antisemitism as they are
recorded by international organisations, and by official and unofficial sources in the
28 EU Member States.

80 % des Roms interrogés vivent en dessous du seuil de risque de pauvreté de leur pays, un Rom sur trois vit dans un
logement sans eau du robinet, un enfant Rom sur trois vit dans un ménage où quelqu’un s’est couché en ayant faim au moins une fois durant le mois précédent. De plus, dans le domaine de l’éducation scolaire, les enfants roms accusent
un retard d’apprentissage par comparaison avec les enfants non-Roms. Ce rapport souligne une réalité inquiétante mais
incontournable : la plus vaste minorité ethnique de l’Union européenne continue à faire face à une discrimination et à un
accès inégal à divers services vitaux.

Media content and political discourse in EU Member States, whether online or
offline, show incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence on different
grounds, as evidence collected by FRA reveals. The growing reliance on the internet as the main source of
information for many enables the fast spread of often unverified statements
that could also incite to hatred.
