If you were disabled, how would you feel if you were robbed and told it was because you were an ‘easy target’? Would you consider this to be a hate crime? People who work closely with disabled people might not see these behaviours as potential #Disability #Hatecrimes, however, most disabled people probably would. ☝ It is important to take a proactive approach and support individuals who experience violence and intimidation. ☝ However, there is a need to consider disabled people’s social position within historical and contemporary society. Across the globe, disabled people have continuously experienced marginalisation, exploitation and violence. 👉 Discover the complexities and diversities of disabled communities in this booklet, developed for the Facing All the Facts online course on understanding and identifying disability hate crimes. 👉 Find the course here: https://lnkd.in/e5CfBzMp Read also in: Italian 🇮🇹 https://lnkd.in/e9Z4gWWc The course was developed in close cooperation with partners and relevant experts in the field of disability hate crime, for instance with our member European Network on Independent Living.

The share of Jews who experienced antisemitic harassment in the 12 months prior to the 2023 European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights survey increased from 31% in 2018 to 37% in 2023. 4% of Jewish people experienced antisemitic physical attacks in the 12 months prior to the 2023 survey, compared with 2% in 2018. The #EU #antisemitism strategy runs until 2030, yet the recent aggravation of the situation calls for further efforts for its effective implementation and update, as necessary. ❗ Antisemitic hate speech and hate crimes must be effectively prosecuted and perpetrators convicted. The Commission’s “High Level Group on combating hate speech and hate crime” provides guidance and promotes standards and good practices in the area of hate crime #datacollection, hate crime #training and hate crime #victimsupport, and also includes a focus on #antisemitism. ❗ The first progress report on the 2021-2030 EU Strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life shows that awareness about the danger of antisemitism has increased among state actors. This has led to the adoption of national strategies against antisemitism in 23 EU Member States, to the appointment of 20 national envoys or coordinators on combating antisemitism and the EU-wide establishment of the non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance as a useful tool for the fight against antisemitism.

Listening to the perspectives of Jewish people is essential. Victimisation surveys, such as those conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), are crucial tools for policymakers and criminal justice professionals to capture the intricacies of the impact of discrimination on victims, their relatives and friends, and the wider communities. Data from victimisation surveys can provide a way to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of existing policies, allocate resources efficiently and to ensure a coordinated response among various stakeholders in a response system. This collaborative approach is crucial to ensure effective victim support, protection and justice. More info in our news article: https://lnkd.in/eQ4HY9wJ
