Based on its findings and research FRA provides practical guidance to support the implementation of fundamental rights in the EU Member States. This series contains practical guidance on: Initial-reception facilities at external borders; Apprehension of migrants in an irregular situation; Guidance on how to reduce the risk of refoulement in external border management when working in or together with third countries; Fundamental rights implications of the obligation to provide fingerprints for Eurodac; Twelve operational fundamental rights considerations for law enforcement when processing Passenger Name Record (PNR) data and Border controls and fundamental rights at external land borders.
Child rights come first. Measures to ensure child protection and participation apply to all children in the EU. This brochure guides you to relevant FRA reports and tools that can support you when promoting and protecting the rights of all children in the EU.
Les droits de l’enfant sont notre priorité. Les mesures visant à garantir la protection et

Across the EU, people of African
descent face widespread and entrenched prejudice
and exclusion. Racial discrimination and harassment
are commonplace. Experiences with racist
violence vary, but reach as high as 14 %. Discriminatory
profiling by the police is a common reality.
Hurdles to inclusion are multi-faceted, particularly
when it comes to looking for jobs and housing.
Tässä raportissa esitellään yhteenveto Euroopan unionin perusoikeusviraston (FRA) toisesta laajamittaisesta EU:n laajuisesta maahanmuuttajia ja vähemmistöjä koskevasta kyselytutkimuksesta (EU-MIDIS II). Siinä tarkastellaan lähes 6 000 afrikkalaistaustaisen henkilön kokemuksia EU:n 12 jäsenvaltiossa. Tulokset osoittavat, että EU:ssa asuvat afrikkalaistaustaiset henkilöt kärsivät laajamittaisista ja sitkeistä ennakkoluuloista ja syrjäytymisestä vielä lähes 20 vuotta EU:n
syrjinnänvastaisen lainsäädännön hyväksymisen jälkeen
La presente relazione illustra i risultati selezionati della seconda indagine su larga scala dell’Agenzia su migranti e minoranze (EU-MIDIS II), esaminando le esperienze di quasi 6 000 persone
di origine africana in 12 Stati membri dell’UE. I risultati mostrano che, quasi vent’anni dopo l’adozione di leggi dell’UE che vietano la discriminazione, le persone di origine africana nell’UE si
trovano ad affrontare pregiudizi ed esclusione diffusi e radicati.
O presente relatório apresenta resultados selecionados do segundo inquérito da FRA realizado
em grande escala na UE sobre migrantes e minorias (EU-MIDIS II). Analisa as experiências de
quase 6 000 afrodescendentes em 12 Estados-Membros da UE. Os resultados demonstram que,
quase 20 anos após a adoção de leis da UE que proíbem a discriminação, os afrodescendentes
na UE ainda são alvo de preconceito e exclusão generalizados e enraizados.
The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights has been regularly collecting data on asylum and
migration since September 2015. This report focuses on the fundamental rights situation
of people arriving in Member States and EU candidate countries particularly affected by
migration. It addresses fundamental rights concerns between 1 July and 30 September 2019.
In this edition Michael O'Flaherty reports back from his visit to the asylum seeker facility in Lesbos and calls for the support of all EU Member States to improve in particular the situation of unaccompanied children.
Individuals who are not entitled to stay in the European Union are typically subject to being returned to their home countries. This includes children who are not accompanied by their parents or by another primary caregiver. But returning such children, or finding another durable solution, is a delicate matter, and doing so in full compliance with fundamental rights protections can be difficult. This focus paper therefore aims to help national authorities involved in return-related tasks, including child-protection services, to ensure full rights compliance.
FRA’s second EU Minorities and Discrimination survey (EU-MIDIS II) collected information from over 25,000 respondents with different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds across all 28 EU Member States. The main findings from the survey, published in 2017, pointed to a number of differences in the way women and men with immigrant backgrounds across the European Union (EU) experience how their rights are respected. This report summarises some of the most relevant survey findings in this regard, which show the need for targeted, gender-sensitive measures that promote the integration of – specifically – women who are immigrants or descendants of immigrants.
The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights has been regularly collecting data on migration since September 2015. This report focuses on the fundamental rights situation of people arriving in Member States and EU candidate countries particularly affected by migration movements. It addresses fundamental rights concerns between 1 April and 30 June 2019.
In the latest edition of his video blog, FRA Director Michael O'Flaherty focuses on the migration situation in the Mediterranean Sea and makes three proposals.
The EU Return Directive (2008/115/EC) in Article 8 (6) introduced an important fundamental rights safeguard for third-country nationals ordered to leave the EU because they do not or no longer fulfil the conditions for entry and/or stay. According to the directive, Member States must provide for an effective forced-return monitoring system.
This report is the EU Fundamental Rights Agency’s fourth on the topic of severe labour exploitation. Based on interviews with 237 exploited workers, it paints a bleak picture of severe exploitation and abuse. The workers include both people who came to the EU, and EU nationals who moved to another EU country. They were active in diverse sectors, and their legal status also varied.
Fundamental Rights Report 2019: Although migrant arrivals to the EU continue to drop, it remains a divisive issue politically and
across society. Nearly 4 in 10 Europeans think immigration is more of a problem than a solution.
And nearly a half overestimate the number of irregular migrants in their country.
