Antisemitism can be expressed in the form of verbal and physical attacks, threats,
harassment, property damage and graffiti or other forms of text, including on the
internet. The present report relates to manifestations of antisemitism as they are
recorded by international organisations, and by official and unofficial sources in the
28 EU Member States.

Dit verslag wijst erop dat ongeveer 80 % van de ondervraagde Roma onder de armoederisicodrempel van hun land leeft, dat een derde van de Roma in een woning zonder leidingwater leeft, dat een derde van de Romakinderen in een huishouden leeft waar iemand minstens één keer in de afgelopen maand met honger naar bed is gegaan, en dat Romakinderen op alle onderwijsindicatoren slechter presteren dan hun niet-Roma leeftijdsgenoten. Het bevestigt hiermee een verontrustende, maar onvermijdelijke realiteit: de grootste minderheid van de Europese Unie blijft kampen met discriminatie en ongelijke toegang tot essentiële diensten.

Media content and political discourse in EU Member States, whether online or
offline, show incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence on different
grounds, as evidence collected by FRA reveals. The growing reliance on the internet as the main source of
information for many enables the fast spread of often unverified statements
that could also incite to hatred.

This opinion addresses the designation and operation of a framework established under Article 33 (2) of the CRPD at EU level (EU Framework). It aims to clarify the requirements of an EU Framework in light of the monitoring practice and jurisprudence of the CRPD Committee and – with regard to the concept of independence –the Committee interpreting the Paris Principles on the establishment of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs).

Hate crime is the most severe expression of discrimination, and a core fundamental rights abuse. Various initiatives target such crime, but most hate crime across the EU remains unreported and unprosecuted, leaving victims without redress. To counter this trend, it is essential for Member States to improve access to justice for victims. Drawing on interviews with representatives from criminal courts, public prosecutors’ offices, the police, and NGOs involved in supporting hate crime victims, this report sheds light on the diverse hurdles that impede victims’ access to justice and the proper recording of hate crime.

The fundamental rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are often not respected across the EU. Public officials and other professionals in education, healthcare and law enforcement are entrusted with the duty to ensure that everyone’s fundamental rights are protected and promoted.

While awareness of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) persons is on the rise across the European Union, hurdles to their full enjoyment of their fundamental rights remain. This report updates FRA’s 2010 report on homophobia, transphobia and discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Children with disabilities face significant barriers to enjoying their fundamental rights. They are often excluded from society, sometimes living in facilities far from their families. They are also denied access to basic services, such as health care and education, and endure stigma and discrimination, as well as sexual, physical and psychological violence. FRA scrutinised the important but underreported issue of violence against children with disabilities, carrying out desk research and conducting interviews with knowledgeable stakeholders. This report presents the results of that research.

Kinderen zijn volwaardig bezitter van mensenrechten. Zij zijn begunstigden van alle mensen- en
grondrechten en zijn onderwerp van speciale regelgeving in verband met hun specifieke kenmerken.
Dit handboek beoogt te illustreren hoe de Europese wetgeving en jurisprudentie voorzien in de
specifieke belangen en behoeften van kinderen, maar laat ook zien hoe belangrijk ouders en
voogden en andere wettelijke vertegenwoordigers zijn.
