    Every year, tens of thousands of people risk their lives trying to enter the European Union (EU) in an irregular way, and many die in the attempt. Increasing the availability of legal avenues to reach the EU would contribute to make the right to asylum set forth in Article 18 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights a reality for vulnerable refugees and other persons in need of protection who are staying in a third country, often facing risks to their safety. It would also help to fight smuggling in human beings. This FRA focus seeks to contribute towards the elaboration of such legal entry options so that these can constitute a viable alternative to risky irregular entry.

  • To mark the European Day for Victims of Crime on 22 February, FRA has created this infographic based on the the report: Victims of crime in the EU: the extent and nature of support for victims, published in January, 2015.

    The events that took place in France and Belgium in January 2015 had tremendous impact across the European Union (EU) and beyond. In the immediate aftermath of the events in Paris, FRA collected responses across Europe, focusing on Jewish and Muslim community organisations, political leaders, civil society and the media. The current paper provides an overview of this material and should be regarded as a snapshot of a rapidly changing situation.

    Die jüngsten Anschläge in Paris haben
    unser Sicherheitsgefühl erschüttert. Sie
    ereigneten sich in einer Zeit, in der die
    Europäische Union dabei ist, ihre
    Prioritäten im Bereich der inneren
    Sicherheit für die nächsten fünf Jahre zu
    erörtern. Dieses Dokument beleuchtet, wie die
    Grundrechtsperspektive in der aktuellen
    Debatte genutzt werden kann, um mit
    Hilfe eines auf den Grundrechten
    basierenden Zugangs zur Erarbeitung
    rechtmäßiger, wirksamer und
    nachhaltiger Maßnahmen zur
    Strafverfolgung und zur Bekämpfung der
    Radikalisierung beizutragen.

    The recent events in Paris have challenged our sense of safety. They come at a time when the European Union is in the course of discussing its priorities in the area of internal security for the next five years. This paper examines the ways in which a fundamental rights perspective can benefit the current debate, so that a fundamental rights-anchored approach can support the creation of legitimate, effective and sustainable law enforcement and counter-radicalisation measures.

    Les récents événements survenus à Paris ont
    mis à mal notre sentiment de sécurité. Ils
    surviennent à l’heure où l’Union européenne est
    en train de débattre de ses priorités pour les
    cinq prochaines années en matière de sécurité
    intérieure. Le présent document examine de quelle façon la
    perspective des droits fondamentaux peut
    contribuer au débat actuel, de sorte qu’une
    approche ancrée sur les droits fondamentaux
    puisse favoriser la création de mesures
    légitimes, efficaces et durables de maintien de
    l'ordre et de lutte contre la radicalisation.

    The rights of victims of crime to access justice and to be protected against repeat victimisation may remain illusory in practice if the victim fails to receive professional advice and support. This research by the European Union Agency
    for Fundamental Rights (FRA) examines support service provision for such victims across the 28 EU Member States, in line with the 2012 EU Victims’ Directive. It focuses not on abstract fundamental rights standards but on the final
    practical results.

    Trans persons, or those whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from the sex assigned them at birth, face frequent discrimination, harassment and violence across the European Union (EU) today. This reality triggers fears that persuade many to hide or disguise their true selves. This report examines issues of equal treatment and discrimination on two grounds, namely sexual orientation and gender identity. It analyses data on the experiences of 6,579 trans respondents from the EU Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) survey, the largest body of empirical evidence of its kind to date.
