    This report presents findings from FRA’s 2021 survey on Roma in Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Spain, as well as in North Macedonia and Serbia. The survey includes interviews with more than 8,400 Roma, collecting information on more than 20,000 individuals living in their households. By focusing on Roma, the survey provides unique data and information that are not available from European general population surveys, which do not disaggregate on grounds of ethnic origin. The findings present a bleak but familiar picture of exclusion, deprivation, discrimination and racism.

    Across the European Union, Member States are faced with the challenge of integrating Europe’s most deprived
    and disenfranchised minority groups. As a follow up to the EU-MIDIS II findings on Roma, this report presents
    FRA’s findings relating to the issues of education and employment. Encouraging Roma participation in education
    and employment equips communities with higher incomes, better life opportunities and greater social inclusion.

    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.

    Organizațiile societății civile din Uniunea Europeană joacă un rol esențial în promovarea drepturilor fundamentale, dar le este tot mai greu să-și continue activitatea din cauza restricțiilor
    juridice și practice. Deși există provocări în toate statele membre ale UE, natura și amploarea acestora variază. În general, datele și cercetările pe această temă – inclusiv cercetările comparative – lipsesc.
    Prin urmare, raportul FRA analizează diferitele tipuri și modele de provocări cu care se confruntă organizațiile societății civile care lucrează în domeniul drepturilor omului în UE. De asemenea, raportul scoate în evidență practici promițătoare care pot contracara aceste modele îngrijorătoare.

    Dreptul european privind nediscriminarea, așa cum a fost constituit prin directivele UE privind
    nediscriminarea și prin articolul 14 din Convenția europeană pentru apărarea drepturilor omului și
    a libertăților fundamentale și prin Protocolul nr. 12 la convenție, interzice discriminarea într-o serie
    de contexte și pentru o gamă largă de criterii. Prezentul manual analizează dreptul european privind
    nediscriminarea rezultat din aceste două surse cu titlu de sisteme complementare, făcând referire
    la oricare dintre acestea în măsura în care se suprapun și semnalând diferențele, acolo unde există.

    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.
