This report looks at antisemitism in the EU, focusing on what can be done to address gaps in recording and inconsistencies in data collection. It highlights existing tools and guidance for Member States to improve their recording systems. The analysis is based on official administrative data and information from publicly available sources across EU Member States, as well as Albania, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Detailed country overviews are available for all countries covered. Antisemitism has been monitored by FRA since 2004. This report builds on the 2024 publication, ‘Jewish People’s Experiences and Perceptions of Antisemitism’.
Racism towards Muslims is increasing in countries across the EU. Muslims face racial discrimination and racist harassment because of their religion, skin colour or ethnic background. This report shows a sharp rise since the last survey in 2016.
Antisemitism is still a reality for many Jewish people in the EU today. Faced with prejudice and hostility, most feel unable to live openly Jewish lives. This report presents the results of FRA’s third EU survey of Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. The survey took place before the Hamas attacks in October 2023 and the war in Gaza; however, it includes evidence from a consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organisations since. It covers 13 EU Member States that together account for around 96 % of the EU’s Jewish population.
Antisemitic incidents and hate crimes violate fundamental rights. This report provides an overview of antisemitic incidents in 2022. It reveals persistent gaps in the recording of antisemitism across Europe that impedes efforts to effectively counter hatred towards Jews. It covers antisemitic incidents reported in the 27 EU Member States in 2022 and includes available data of the same year from Albania, the Republic of North Macedonia and Serbia. As this is a yearly publication covering the period 01/01/2022–31/12/2022, it does not include antisemitic incidents reported in 2023. This is the 19th edition and is the only annual source of data of this nature for the EU.
Antisemitic incidents and hate crimes violate fundamental rights, especially the right to human dignity, the right to equality of treatment and the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This report provides an overview of available data on antisemitism as recorded by official and unofficial sources in the EU Member States and in Albania, North Macedonia and Serbia. The data provided by the countries are supplemented with information from international organisations.

Antisemitism can be expressed in the form of verbal and physical attacks, threats, harassment, discrimination and unequal treatment, property damage and graffiti or other forms of speech or text, including on the internet. Antisemitic incidents and hate crimes violate fundamental rights, especially the right to human dignity, the right to equality of treatment and the freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
This annual overview provides an update of the most recent figures on antisemitic incidents, covering the period 1 January 2008 – 31 December 2018, across the EU Member States, where data are available. It includes a section that presents evidence from international organisations. In addition, for the first time, it provides an overview of how Member States that have adopted or endorsed the non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) (2016) use or intend to use it.
Based on FRA’s second large-scale survey on experiences and perceptions of antisemitism, this report focuses on the perspectives of young Jewish Europeans (aged 16-34) living in twelve EU Member States. It first describes this particular group and takes a look at defining antisemitism and understanding the place of Israel in it.
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.
Европейското право в областта на недискриминацията, както е предвидено в директивите
на ЕС относно недискриминацията, в член 14 и в Протокол 12 към Европейската конвенция
за правата на човека, забранява дискриминацията в рамките на широк набор от видове
контекст и основания. В настоящия наръчник се разглежда европейско право в областта на
недискриминацията, което произхожда от тези два източника като допълващи се системи.
Те му служат взаимозаменяемо дотолкова, че се припокриват, като същевременно се
подчертават съществуващите разлики.
Evropské antidiskriminační právo, které tvoří směrnice EU o zákazu diskriminace a článek 14 a protokol č. 12 Evropské úmluvy o ochraně lidských práv a základních svobod, zakazuje diskriminaci v celé řadě situací a z celé řady důvodů. Tato příručka zkoumá evropské antidiskriminační právo vycházející z uvedených dvou zdrojů jako vzájemně se doplňující systémy, využívá jejich vzájemné zaměnitelnosti v míře, v jaké se tyto systémy překrývají, a upozorňuje na jejich rozdíly, pokud existují.

Den europæiske lovgivning om ikke-forskelsbehandling, som består af EU’s direktiver om ikkeforskelsbehandling og artikel 14 i den europæiske menneskerettighedskonvention (EMRK) samt protokol nr. 12 hertil, forbyder forskelsbehandling i en række sammenhænge og af en række årsager. I denne håndbog ser vi på EU-lovgivningen om ikke-forskelsbehandling i henhold til disse to kilder som komplementære systemer, idet de vil blive brugt i flæng, hvis de overlapper hinanden, mens evt. forskelle vil blive fremhævet.
Das europäische Antidiskriminierungsrecht verbietet insbesondere nach Maßgabe der Antidiskriminierungsrichtlinien der EU, des Artikels 14 der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention sowie des Protokolls Nr. 12 zu dieser Konvention die Diskriminierung in einer ganzen Reihe von Bereichen und aus einer Vielzahl von Gründen. Dieses Handbuch untersucht den europäischen Rechtsrahmen zur Nichtdiskriminierung, der sich auf diese beiden Quellen als einander ergänzende Systeme gründet, auf die unterschiedslos Bezug genommen wird, soweit sie sich überschneiden; zugleich wird gegebenenfalls auf bestehende Unterschiede aufmerksam gemacht.
Η ευρωπαϊκή νομοθεσία κατά των διακρίσεων, η οποία αποτελείται ειδικότερα από τις οδηγίες
της ΕΕ κατά των διακρίσεων, καθώς και από το άρθρο 14 και το δωδέκατο πρωτόκολλο της
Ευρωπαϊκής Σύμβασης των Δικαιωμάτων του Ανθρώπου απαγορεύει τις διακρίσεις σε διάφορους
τομείς και για διάφορους λόγους. Το παρόν εγχειρίδιο εξετάζει την ευρωπαϊκή νομοθεσία κατά
των διακρίσεων, όπως αυτή απορρέει από τις δύο αυτές πηγές που λειτουργούν συμπληρωματικά
μεταξύ τους, παραπέμποντας αδιακρίτως και στις δύο όποτε αυτές αλληλοεπικαλύπτονται,
επισημαίνοντας, όμως, ταυτόχρονα, τυχόν διαφορές τους.

European non-discrimination law, as constituted in particular by the EU non-discrimination directives, and Article 14 of and Protocol 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights, prohibits discrimination across a range of contexts and grounds. This handbook examines European non-discrimination law stemming from these two sources as complementary systems, drawing on them interchangeably to the extent that they overlap, while highlighting differences where these exist.
La legislación europea contra la discriminación, integrada por las Directivas de la UE en materia de no discriminación y el artículo 14 y el Protocolo n.o 12 del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos, prohíben la discriminación en una gama de contextos y por una serie de motivos. En este manual se analiza la legislación europea contra la discriminación derivada de estas dos fuentes, que funcionan como sistemas complementarios, acudiendo indistintamente a uno u otro en los casos en que se superpongan y resaltando también las diferencias existentes.

Diskrimineerimine eri kontekstides ja alustel on keelatud Euroopa võrdse kohtlemise õigusega, mille moodustavad ELi võrdse kohtlemise direktiivid ning Euroopa inimõiguste ja põhivabaduste kaitse konventsiooni artikkel 14 ja konventsiooni protokoll nr 12. Käesolevas käsiraamatus vaadeldakse nendest kahest allikast lähtuvaid Euroopa võrdse kohtlemise õigusnorme üksteist täiendavate süsteemidena, tuginedes neile vaheldumisi ja rõhutades samas ka erinevusi (kui neid esineb).
Syrjintä kielletään Euroopan syrjinnänvastaisessa lainsäädännössä, joka käsittää EU:n syrjimättömyysdirektiivit sekä ihmisoikeuksien ja perusvapauksien suojaamiseksi tehdyn eurooppalaisen yleissopimuksen 14 artiklan ja 12. lisäpöytäkirjan. Kielto yksilöidään syrjinnän olosuhteiden ja syiden perusteella. Tässä käsikirjassa tutkitaan edellä mainittuihin lähteisiin perustuvaa Euroopan syrjinnänvastaista lainsäädäntöä kahtena toisiaan täydentävänä järjestelmänä. Niistä käsitellään jompaakumpaa siltä osin, kuin ne eivät ole päällekkäisiä, ja tuodaan esille mahdollisia eroja.
Le droit européen en matière de non-discrimination, constitué en particulier des directives européennes relatives à la non-discrimination, de l’article 14 de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme et du Protocole nº 12 à cette convention, interdit toute discrimination fondée sur un certain nombre de motifs et exercée dans un certain nombre de contextes. Le présent manuel examine la législation européenne dans ce domaine, telle qu’elle découle de ces deux sources fondamentales, citant indifféremment l’un ou l’autre de ces systèmes juridiques complémentaires lorsque ceux-ci se recoupent ou mettant en exergue leurs divergences lorsqu’ils diffèrent.
