This report examines the fundamental rights and living conditions of Roma and Travellers across 10 EU Member States and
3 accession countries. The survey evaluates progress towards the EU Roma strategic framework’s 2030 objectives, covering areas such as discrimination, poverty, education, employment, health, and housing.
This report highlights the discrimination, harassment, violence, and non-consensual medical interventions faced by intersex people across 30 European countries, based on responses from nearly 2,000 participants in FRA's 2023 EU LGBTIQ Survey III. It reveals that many intersex individuals also identify as trans, non-binary, gender-diverse and have varied sexual orientations, which further compounds their experiences of discrimination. The report aims to support the development of laws and policies that promote the inclusion and dignity of intersex people.
This report presents key results of the EU gender-based violence survey based on data from all 27 Member States. The report focuses on the overall prevalence of physical violence or threats and/or sexual violence by any perpetrator, violence perpetrated by women’s intimate partners and by other people (non-partners) and women’s experiences of sexual harassment at work.
FRA’s third LGBTIQ survey shows that people still experience hate-motivated violence and discrimination. Trans and intersex people face even greater victimisation. Yet, signs of progress show that the EU’s and Member States’ efforts can positively affect people’s lives. More LGBTIQ people are open about their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics.
Following yet another recent tragic shipwreck and loss of life in the Mediterranean, this short report sets out examples of actions the EU could take to meet its obligations to protect the right to life and prevent more deaths at sea. As part of the work that the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) does on upholding fundamental rights in asylum and return procedures, this report calls for better protection for shipwreck survivors, and prompt and independent investigations. It sets out measures that EU Member States should take to improve search and rescue efforts and provide legal pathways to safety to prevent deaths at sea.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere and affects everyone – from deciding what content people see on their social media feeds to determining who will receive state benefits. AI technologies are typically based on algorithms that make predictions to support or even fully automate decision-making.
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.
Η παρακολούθηση της κατάστασης των θεμελιωδών δικαιωμάτων στα εξωτερικά σύνορα της ΕΕ θα πρέπει να είναι συστηματική και τακτική για μια σειρά δραστηριοτήτων διαχείρισης των συνόρων, όπως είναι η επιτήρηση των συνόρων, οι συλλήψεις στα χερσαία, θαλάσσια και εναέρια σύνορα, καθώς και η λειτουργία των μηχανισμών παραπομπής, ακόμη και σε περίπτωση μαζικών αφίξεων. Οι παρούσες γενικές κατευθυντήριες γραμμές έχουν ως στόχο να βοηθήσουν τα κράτη μέλη της ΕΕ να συγκροτήσουν εθνικούς ανεξάρτητους μηχανισμούς για την παρακολούθηση της συμμόρφωσης προς τα θεμελιώδη δικαιώματα στα εξωτερικά σύνορα της ΕΕ, σύμφωνα με την πρόταση κανονισμού για τον έλεγχο διαλογής που ανακοινώθηκε στις 23 Σεπτεμβρίου 2020 από την Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή. Εκπονήθηκαν από τον Οργανισμό Θεμελιωδών Δικαιωμάτων της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης κατόπιν αιτήματος της Επιτροπής.

Fundamental rights monitoring at EU external borders should be systematically and regularly carried out for a range of border management activities. These include border surveillance, apprehensions at land, sea and air borders, and the operation of referral mechanisms, including in the event of mass arrivals. This general guidance provides assistance to EU Member States in setting up national independent mechanisms to monitor fundamental rights compliance at EU external borders, in line with the proposed screening regulation of 23 September 2020 by the European Commission. The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights prepared this guidance at the request of the Commission.

Perusoikeuksien toteutumista EU:n ulkorajoilla pitäisi seurata järjestelmällisesti ja säännöllisesti rajaturvallisuuden ylläpitämiseen liittyvissä eri toimissa. Näitä toimia ovat muun muassa rajavartiointi, kiinniottamiset maa-, meri- ja ilmarajoilla ja asianmukaiseen menettelyyn ohjaamista koskevan mekanismin käyttö, myös silloin, kun kyse on joukoittaisesta maahantulosta. Nämä yleiset ohjeet auttavat EU:n jäsenvaltioita perustamaan kansallisia riippumattomia mekanismeja perusoikeuksien noudattamisen seurantaan EU:n ulkorajoilla Euroopan komission 23. syyskuuta 2020 ehdottaman seulonta-asetuksen mukaisesti. EU:n perusoikeusvirasto laati nämä ohjeet komission pyynnöstä.
Praćenje poštovanja temeljnih prava na vanjskim granicama EU‑a trebalo bi se sustavno i redovno provoditi za široki raspon aktivnosti upravljanja granicama. Te aktivnosti obuhvaćaju nadzor granica, uhićenja na kopnenim, morskim i zračnim granicama te rad mehanizama za upućivanje, uključujući u slučaju masovnih dolazaka. Ovim općim smjernicama pruža se pomoć državama članicama EU‑a u uspostavi nacionalnih neovisnih mehanizama praćenja poštovanja temeljnih prava na vanjskim granicama EU‑a, u skladu s uredbom o dubinskoj provjeri koju je Europska komisija predložila 23. rujna 2020. Agencija Europske unije za temeljna prava izradila je ove smjernice na zahtjev Komisije.
Az alapjogok uniós külső határokon történő nyomon követésének szisztematikusnak és rendszeresnek kell lennie számos határigazgatási tevékenység tekintetében. E tevékenységek közé tartozik a határőrizet, a szárazföldi, tengeri és légi határokon történő őrizetbe vétel, valamint az áldozatkezelési mechanizmusok működtetése, többek között tömeges érkezések esetén is. Ez az általános iránymutatás segítséget nyújt az uniós tagállamok számára az alapjogok uniós külső határokon történő tiszteletben tartásának nyomon követésére szolgáló független nemzeti mechanizmusoknak az előszűrésről szóló rendeletre vonatkozó, 2020. szeptember 23-i európai bizottsági javaslattal összhangban történő létrehozásához. Az Európai Unió Alapjogi Ügynöksége a Bizottság kérésére készítette el ezt az iránymutatást.
Il monitoraggio dei diritti fondamentali alle frontiere esterne dell’UE dovrebbe essere effettuato sistematicamente e regolarmente per una serie di attività di gestione delle frontiere, tra cui la sorveglianza delle frontiere, i fermi alle frontiere terrestri, marittime e aeree e la gestione dei meccanismi di indirizzamento, anche in caso di arrivi di massa. I presenti orientamenti generali forniscono assistenza agli Stati membri dell’Unione europea (UE) ai fini dell’istituzione di meccanismi nazionali indipendenti tesi a monitorare il rispetto dei diritti fondamentali alle frontiere esterne dell’UE, in linea con la proposta di regolamento sugli accertamenti presentata dalla Commissione europea il 23 settembre 2020. L’Agenzia dell’Unione europea per i diritti fondamentali ha elaborato i presenti orientamenti su richiesta della Commissione.

FRA’s Fundamental Rights Report 2022 reviews major developments in the field in 2021, identifying both achievements and areas of concern. It also presents FRA’s opinions on these developments, including a synopsis of the evidence supporting these opinions.
Τα εγκλήματα μίσους που υποκινούνται από τον ρατσισμό, την ξενοφοβία, τη θρησκευτική μισαλλοδοξία ή την αναπηρία ενός ατόμου, τον γενετήσιο προσανατολισμό, την ταυτότητα φύλου, την έκφραση φύλου και τα χαρακτηριστικά του φύλου αποτελούν σοβαρές εκφράσεις διακρίσεων. Εκτός από την παραβίαση των δικαιωμάτων των μεμονωμένων θυμάτων, ένα τέτοιο έγκλημα αποδυναμώνει την κοινωνική συνοχή και βλάπτει το κοινωνικό σύνολο.
This report examines why victims do not report bias-motivated incidents and the barriers that they face when reporting incidents through national crime reporting systems. By mapping existing practices that have a bearing on the victim’s experiences when reporting bias-motivated violence and harassment, it aims to provide evidence to support national efforts to encourage and facilitate reporting – and ultimately assist Member States in delivering on their duties with regard to combating hate crime.
La presente relazione esamina i motivi per cui le vittime non denunciano gli episodi motivati da pregiudizi e le barriere che incontrano quando denunciano gli episodi attraverso i sistemi nazionali di denuncia dei reati. Mappando le prassi esistenti che hanno un impatto sulle esperienze delle vittime quando denunciano la violenza e le molestie motivate da pregiudizi, si vuole fornire prove a sostegno degli sforzi nazionali per incoraggiare e facilitare la denuncia — e in definitiva aiutare gli Stati membri ad adempiere ai loro obblighi in materia di lotta contro i reati d’odio.
