    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.

    Rokasgrāmatas “Bērni, kas palikuši bez vecāku gādības un atrodas ES dalībvalstī, kura nav viņu
    mītnes valsts” mērķis ir stiprināt visu attiecīgo bērnu aizsardzības dalībnieku reakciju. Šo meiteņu
    un zēnu aizsardzība ir īpaši svarīga, un tas ir ES dalībvalstu pienākums, kas izriet no starptautiskā
    un Eiropas tiesiskā regulējuma. Rokasgrāmatā galvenā uzmanība pievērsta cilvēku tirdzniecības
    upuriem un riskam pakļautajiem bērniem, īstenojot 2017. gada paziņojumā paredzēto darbību, ar ko
    pastiprina ES rīcību pret cilvēku tirdzniecību, un tajā ņemti vērā konstatētie modeļi, tostarp attiecībā
    uz nozieguma dzimumu specifiku.

    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.

    Šajā ceļvedī ir paskaidrots, kas ir profilēšana, kāds ir tās tiesiskais regulējums un kāpēc profilēšana ir gan nepieciešama, lai ievērotu pamattiesības, gan būtiska efektīvai policijas darbībai un robežu pārvaldībai. Ceļvedī ir sniegti arī praktiski norādījumi par to, kā novērst nelikumīgu profilēšanu policijas un robežu pārvaldības operācijās.

    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.

    Pilsoniskās sabiedrības organizācijām Eiropas Savienībā ir būtiska nozīme pamattiesību veicināšanā, taču tām ir arvien grūtāk to darīt dažādu juridisku un praktisku ierobežojumu dēļ.
    Lai arī problēmas ir visās ES dalībvalstīs, to būtība un apjoms atšķiras. Kopumā trūkst datu un pētījumu par šo tēmu, tostarp salīdzinošu pētījumu.
    Tāpēc FRA ziņojumā tiek aprakstītas dažādu veidu problēmas, ar ko saskaras pilsoniskās sabiedrības organizācijas, kuru darbs ir saistīts ar cilvēktiesību aizsardzību ES. Tajā ir izcelta arī daudzsološa prakse, kas var palīdzēt neitralizēt šīs satraucošās tendences.

    Pieaugot terorisma, kiberuzbrukumu un sarežģītu pārrobežu noziedzīgo tīklu radītajiem draudiem, izlūkdienestu darbs ir kļuvis aktuālāks, sarežģītāks un tam ir spēcīgāks starptautiskais faktors. Šāds darbs var lielā mērā skart pamattiesības, jo īpaši privātās dzīves un datu aizsardzību. Lai arī nepārtraukts tehnoloģiskais progress potenciāli pastiprina šādas iejaukšanās risku, efektīva uzraudzība un tiesiskās aizsardzības līdzekļi var ierobežot ļaunprātīgas izmantošanas potenciālu.

    The right to access justice and all other relevant procedural rights are not just rights in themselves; they also protect against violations of every other right. Respect for children’s rights in the area of justice is therefore essential. International treaties, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, European Union (EU) secondary law, and national legislation provide a number of relevant rights.
