    Seventeen years after adoption of EU laws that forbid discrimination, immigrants, descendants of immigrants, and minority ethnic groups continue to face widespread discrimination across the EU and in all areas of life – most often when seeking employment. For many, discrimination is a recurring experience. This is just one of the findings of FRA’s second European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey (EU-MIDIS II), which collected information from over 25,500 respondents with different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds across all 28 EU Member States.

    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.

    Il manuale Minori privati delle cure genitoriali trovati in uno Stato membro dell’UE diverso dal proprio
    mira a rafforzare la risposta di tutti i soggetti coinvolti nella protezione dei minori. La protezione di
    questi ragazzi e queste ragazze è di primaria importanza ed è un obbligo per gli Stati membri dell’UE
    sancito dal quadro giuridico internazionale e dell’UE. Il manuale dedica un’attenzione particolare
    ai minori vittime della tratta e ai minori a rischio, dando applicazione a un’azione definita nella
    comunicazione della Commissione europea sull’intensificazione dell’azione dell’UE di lotta alla tratta
    degli esseri umani del 2017, e tiene conto dei modelli individuati, anche rispetto alla specificità di
    genere che caratterizza il reato.

High quality data are essential for high quality algorithms. Yet, the call for high quality data in discussions around AI often remains without any further specifications and guidance as to what this actually means.
