Die meisten Fälle von Hasskriminalität gegenüber Juden werden nicht gemeldet. Dadurch und aufgrund der großen Datenlücken bleibt das wahre Ausmaß von Antisemitismus laut dem jüngsten Jahresüberblick der Agentur der Europäischen Union für Grundrechte (FRA) unerkannt und behindert die Bemühungen, wirksame Antworten zu formulieren.
Most incidents of hatred against Jews go unreported. This, coupled with large data gaps, masks the true extent of antisemitism and hampers efforts to formulate effective responses, according to FRA’s latest annual overview.
La plupart des incidents antisémites ne sont pas signalés. Cette situation, associée à des données très lacunaires, masque la véritable ampleur de l’antisémitisme et entrave les efforts visant à formuler des réponses efficaces, selon la dernière vue d’ensemble annuelle de la FRA.
FRA will present findings from its work on the impact of COVID-19 on fundamental rights during the UNECE Regional Forum on Sustainable Development. It will be part of discussions on 10 March on how human rights can guide sustainable recovery. FRA will also draw on its work on implementing the Sustainable Development Goals in the EU. The event focuses on how to ensure that the principle of leaving no-one behind is entrenched in COVID-19 recovery strategies and plans.
Workers are being severely exploited for their labour across the EU, and
inspections are not effective at stopping this reality. Based on interviews with
almost 240 workers – including non-EU citizens who came to the EU and
EU nationals who moved to another EU country to work – a new FRA report
outlines the problem and identifies ways to bolster inspections.
Antisemitism can be expressed in the form of verbal and physical attacks, threats, harassment, property damage, graffiti or other forms of text, including on the internet. This report relates to manifestations of antisemitism as they are recorded by official and unofficial sources in the 28 European Union (EU) Member States.
The stories of the domestic workers FRA interviewed for this paper reveal appalling working conditions and fundamental rights abuses in private homes across the EU. These stories indicate that, seven years on from FRA’s first report on domestic workers in 2011, little has changed in terms of the risks and experiences of severe labour exploitation domestic workers in the EU face.
Severe labour exploitation is widespread across the European Union. While workplace inspections can help counter this phenomenon, they need to be strengthened to do so effectively. Based on interviews and focus group discussions with almost 240 exploited workers active in diverse economic sectors, this report provides important evidence on how unscrupulous employers manipulate and undermine inspections, and on what can be done to counteract such efforts.
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.

Despite efforts by the European Union (EU) and its Member States to reduce gender inequalities among citizens of Roma
origin, important gender differences persist. Drawing on FRA’s own EU-MIDIS II survey research in nine EU Member States this report highlights the position of Roma women in education, employment and health,
as well as the extent to which they experience hate-motivated discrimination, harassment and physical violence.
This report looks at the practical implementation of the presumption of innocence in criminal proceedings, and related rights, in 9 EU Member States (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Portugal). Article 48 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights guarantees the presumption of innocence – but, as FRA’s research underscores, it can be undermined in many ways.

Ein neues Papier der Agentur der Europäischen Union für Grundrechte (FRA) zeigt die unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen mit Polizeikontrollen auf. Aus dem Papier geht hervor, dass Schwarze, Asiaten und Roma nach wie vor eher von der Polizei angehalten und durchsucht werden, was ihr Vertrauen in die Polizeiarbeit beeinträchtigt. Mit Daten und Leitlinien wird die FRA die EU-Staaten weiterhin dabei unterstützen, die Grundrechte der Menschen bei der Polizeiarbeit zu achten.
