    The start of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022 shocked the global community and gave rise to a
    series of urgent fundamental rights challenges across Europe. While much attention has focused on the scale of devastation and its wider impact on all Ukrainians, the war has also inflicted profound personal harm. This report sheds light on the violence, sexual harassment and exploitation experienced by women displaced from Ukraine. Drawing on a survey and in-depth interviews with women from Ukraine, the report documents the prevalence, forms and patterns of gender-based violence and sets out practical measures to improve safety, access to justice and support.

    There are no truly safe spaces for women. At home, at work, in public or online, 1 in 3 women and girls have experienced some form of gender-based violence. This ranges from hate, harassment, abuse, to physical and sexual violence. Women are being silenced and harmed - online and offline - every day, as the EU gender-based survey findings show. But we have the tools to fight it. By preventing violence before it starts, by strengthen legal protection, by funding support services for victims and by training police and healthcare professionals.

    FRA analysed 31 digital tools and systems across seven EU Member States, exploring potential positive and negative effects on victims, claimants and defendants. By identifying risks early, investing in skills and training, and embedding protections from the outset, policymakers and practitioners can build effective and inclusive justice systems. This report provides practical suggestions to help ensure that digitalised justice systems are accessible and deliver fair outcomes for all.

    This report is the EU Fundamental Rights Agency’s fourth on the topic of severe labour exploitation. Based on interviews with 237 exploited workers, it paints a bleak picture of severe exploitation and abuse. The workers include both people who came to the EU, and EU nationals who moved to another EU country. They were active in diverse sectors, and their legal status also varied.
    Fundamental Rights Report 2019: In some Member States access to justice faces challenges. Judicial independence continues to cause
    concerns. Victims’ procedural rights need more effective implementation. Gaps in preventing
    violence against women and domestic violence remain.

    Le présent guide Enfants privés de protection parentale et devant être protégés dans un État
    membre de l’UE autre que le leur vise à renforcer la réponse de l’ensemble des acteurs concernés en
    matière de protection des enfants. La protection de ces filles et garçons est capitale et constitue une
    obligation pour les États membres de l’UE, qui découle du cadre juridique international et européen.
    Ce guide, qui met en oeuvre une action clé de la communication de 2017 visant à renforcer l’action
    de l’UE en matière de lutte contre la traite des êtres humains, met particulièrement l’accent sur les
    enfants victimes de la traite et sur les enfants vulnérables et tient compte des schémas recensés,
    notamment en ce qui concerne les spécificités liées au genre de cette infraction.

    Algorithms used in machine learning systems and artificial intelligence (AI) can only be as good as the data used for their development. High quality data are essential for high quality algorithms. Yet, the call for high quality data in discussions around AI often remains without any further specifications and guidance as to what this actually means.

    Victims of violent crime have various rights, including to protection and to access justice. But how are these rights playing out in practice? Are victims of violent crime properly seen, informed, empowered and heard? Do they tend to feel that justice has been done? Our four-part report series takes a closer look at these questions, based on interviews with victims, people working for victim support organisations, police officers, attorneys, prosecutors and judges.

    Severe labour exploitation is widespread across the European Union. While workplace inspections can help counter this phenomenon, they need to be strengthened to do so effectively. Based on interviews and focus group discussions with almost 240 exploited workers active in diverse economic sectors, this report provides important evidence on how unscrupulous employers manipulate and undermine inspections, and on what can be done to counteract such efforts.

    Workers are being severely exploited for their labour across the EU, and
    inspections are not effective at stopping this reality. Based on interviews with
    almost 240 workers – including non-EU citizens who came to the EU and
    EU nationals who moved to another EU country to work – a new FRA report
    outlines the problem and identifies ways to bolster inspections.

    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.

    Au sein de l’Union européenne, les OSC jouent un rôle crucial dans la promotion des droits
    fondamentaux, mais il leur est désormais plus difficile d’assumer ce rôle en raison de restrictions
    d’ordre à la fois juridique et pratique.
    Le rapport de la l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA) se penche
    par conséquent sur les différents types de difficultés rencontrées par les OSC actives dans
    le domaine des droits de l’homme au sein de l’Union européenne.

    La persistance de la menace terroriste à un niveau élevé, la constitution de
    réseaux criminels transnationaux sur le territoire de l’Union européenne, mais
    également les conséquences des ingérences d’origine étatique de nature diverse
    et le durcissement des modes opératoires hostiles dans l’espace cyber représentent
    des enjeux de sécurité nationale d’importance majeure pour les États
    membres ; la prévention de ces menaces peut reposer sur la mise en oeuvre,
    par des services de renseignement, de mesures de surveillance attentatoires
    aux libertés. Parallèlement, le développement continu des progrès techniques
    accroit les capacités d’ingérences dans la vie privée des personnes.
