EU-MIDIS European Union minorities and discrimination survey Main results report

This is the first-ever EU-wide survey of immigrant and ethnic minority groups’ experiences of discrimination and victimisation in everyday life. Addressing the lack of reliable and comparable data on minorities in many EU countries, it examines experiences of discriminatory treatment, racist crime victimisation, awareness of rights and reporting of complaints.

EU-MIDIS involved face-to-face interviews with 23 500 persons from selected immigrant and ethnic minority groups in all 27 Member States of the European Union. Some 5 000 persons from the majority population were also interviewed to compare the results.

More information on the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights is available through its website (http://fra.europa.eu).
