Map of anti-migrant violence, hatred and sentiment in Europe

ENAR has launched an update of its interactive map of incidents of racist discourse and violence against migrants in EU Member States, including demeaning speeches by politicians, violence, anti-migrant demonstrations, and discriminatory practices by national authorities.


The level of racist and xenophobic violence and speech targeting migrants and refugees in Europe is reaching new heights, as our map highlights. Not a month has passed without an assault, a hate speech incident, or new discriminatory policy against asylum seekers and migrants, from Germany to Hungary and from Finland to France.

Protection against violence and discriminatory practices must become a priority for European Union leaders. The UN Summit must result in a clear commitment to protect and safeguard the rights of migrants in Europe.

EU Member States should also ensure timely investigation, prosecution and sanctioning of violence or incitement to violence against migrants and asylum seekers. The European Commission should issue infringement proceedings against States that violate provisions of the EU Framework Decision against Racism and Xenophobia.

Disclaimer:
This map is not a comprehensive overview of anti-migrant incidents occurring across the European Union. It is not a data collection tool but rather a visualisation of selected cases that illustrate the reality of racist violence and discourses targeting migrants and refugees across Europe. The information provided is based mainly on media articles and data provided by ENAR member organisations.
