The EU’s plans to set up centres in non-EU countries (so-called ‘return hubs’) must respect fundamental rights law, warns a new Position Paper from the European Unio
More LGBTIQ people in Europe are now open about who they are. At the same time, they face more violence, harassment, and bullying than before. This is especially true for younger LGBTIQ people, who are particularly vulnerable. These are some of the findings of the latest survey of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), based on responses from more than 100,000 LGBTIQ people across Europe.
One in two Muslims in the EU face racism and discrimination in their daily life – a sharp rise since 2016. Muslim women, men and children are targeted not just because of their religion, but also because of their skin colour and ethnic or immigrant background. Young Muslims born in the EU and women wearing religious clothing are especially affected. These are some of the findings of the latest report from the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA).

The 2024 EU Survey on Violence against Women is the EU’s biggest ever survey of violence against women. It has been carried out jointly by Eurostat, The Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) and The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) - the three organisations who between them are responsible for statistical information, human rights and gender equality within the European Union. For the first time ever it references levels of violence as disclosed by almost 115,000 women in every Member State, so policymakers across the EU can develop ways to tackle the issue.

Press Release
A third of women in the EU have experienced violence at home, at work and in public. Young women are particularly at risk, as they experience high levels of sexual harassment at work and other forms of violence. Yet, violence against women remains an invisible epidemic as few women report incidents to authorities. These are some of the findings of the EU survey on gender-based violence from Eurostat, the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE).

Antisemitism persists in the EU, affecting Jews both online and offline. Concerns over safety and frequent experiences of harassment force many to conceal their Jewish identity. These alarming insights come from the latest survey by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). The EU and some of its Member States have put in place measures and action plans to tackle antisemitism. EU countries need to build on these efforts to ensure Jews can live their lives with dignity, free from hate and fear. This is especially important given the impact that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has had on Jewish communities in Europe.
Migrant workers in the EU often face labour exploitation and abuse. New guidance from the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) outlines six ways labour inspectors can better safeguard migrant workers’ rights and help them seek justice. This autumn, the Agency will issue a practical manual with tips, examples and exercises to further support labour inspectors.
