Fundamental Rights Agency

Muslims in Europe are facing "ever more racism and discrimination," the EU rights agency said on Thursday, noting a "sharp rise" even before the war in Middle East caused "a spike in anti-Muslim hatred."

A vast survey by an EU rights body has found that 44% of LGBTIQ people in Greece have faced discrimination in at least one area of their life in the year before the survey. 

Although the figure is the 5th highest in the EU, it has decreased since the previous EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) survey in 2019, where 51% of respondents in Greece had faced discrimination. 

In March 2023, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) met at the United Nations headquarters to discuss an unprecedented theme: women's rights in the digital age.

The National Statistical Institute (NSI) and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) start work on the project "New Approaches for Generating Data on Hard-to-reach Populations at Risk of Violation of Their Rights", Diana Yancheva - Deputy Chairman of the NSI told reporters.

Brussels, 26 March 2019 - Today the European Parliament adopted a Resolution on the fundamental rights of people of African descent in Europe. This is the first time that the European Parliament publicly recognises the specific racism and fundamental rights issues facing people of African descent in Europe.

The vast majority of Muslims in the EU have a high sense of trust in democratic institutions despite experiencing widespread discrimination and harassment, a major survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) shows.

Most Muslim migrants within the European Union have a strong connection with the European community, believe in democratic institutions, and embrace Europe as their new home, despite the existence of discrimination on racial grounds. This is stated in the report of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, quoted by BGNES.

A report issued by a European Union agency says that about 80 percent of almost 34,000 Roma, or Gypsies, surveyed in nine EU nations live below the poverty level.

The report also says that every third Roma child goes to bed hungry at least once a month, while 50 percent between 6 and 24 do not attend school.

After adopting a significant number of laws requested by the EU, Serbia needs to focus now on the rule of law, the new European Commission progress report, which will be made public on Wednesday, will say.
