This report outlines the main findings of FRA’s second survey on Jewish people’s experiences with hate crime, discrimination and antisemitism in the European Union – the biggest survey of Jewish people ever conducted worldwide. Covering 12 EU Member States, the survey reached almost 16,500 individuals who identify as being Jewish. It follows up on the agency’s first survey, conducted in seven countries in 2012.

Inside this book you will read about the justice system and the problems in justice for children and how to fix the problems.

Seventeen years after adoption of EU laws that forbid discrimination, immigrants, descendants of immigrants, and minority ethnic groups continue to face widespread discrimination across the EU and in all areas of life – most often when seeking employment. For many, discrimination is a recurring experience. This is just one of the findings of FRA’s second European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey (EU-MIDIS II), which collected information from over 25,500 respondents with different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds across all 28 EU Member States.

Rund 2,5 Millionen Kinder nehmen jedes Jahr an Gerichtsverfahren in der gesamten Europäischen
Union (EU) teil; dabei geht es um die Scheidung ihrer Eltern, oder aber sie sind Opfer oder
Zeugen von Straftaten geworden. Obwohl eine wirksame Beteiligung von Kindern an solchen
Verfahren entscheidend ist, um die Arbeitsweise der Justiz zu verbessern, ist der Umgang mit
Kindern in den Justizsystemen nach wie vor besorgniserregend.

Around 2.5 million children participate in judicial proceedings across the European Union (EU)
every year, affected by parental divorce or as victims of, or witnesses to, crime. Although their
effective participation in such proceedings is vital for improving the operation of justice, the
treatment of children in justice systems remains a concern.

Chaque année, environ 2,5 millions d’enfants participent à des procédures judiciaires dans
l’Union européenne, parce que leurs parents divorcent ou parce qu’ils ont été victimes ou
témoins d’un crime. Bien que leur participation effective à ces procédures soit essentielle
pour améliorer le fonctionnement de la justice, le traitement des enfants dans les systèmes
judiciaires reste préoccupant.
