Protecting Human Rights in Modern Europe

The EU has an impressive human rights framework. However, discrimination on the grounds of gender and sex remained widespread. The COVID19 pandemic triggered a surge in domestic violence, especially violence targeting women, and deepened existing gender inequalities and the European Committee of Social Rights found violations of the rights to equal pay and to equal opportunities in the workplace in 13 EU member states.

The Covid-19 pandemic also triggered an increase in racist and xenophobic incidents against national or ethnic minorities, including verbal insults, harassment, physical attacks, and online hate speech. The EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) noted reports of racist incidents linked to the pandemic in most EU member states, particularly targeting people of or perceived to be of Asian origin, but also Roma, Muslims, Jews, asylum seekers, and people with disabilities.
