More than half of respondents say there is widespread discrimination in their country on the basis of being Roma (65%), of skin colour (61%,) of ethnic origin (60%), of gender identity (being transgender, 57%) or sexual orientation (54%). Around one in five (21%) respondents say they have personally felt discriminated against or experienced harassment in the past 12 months.

Public spaces and work are the primary locations where discrimination or harassment happens.
Key findings
Widespread discrimination in EU Member States
More than half of respondents say there is widespread discrimination in their country on the basis of being Roma (65%), skin colour (61%), ethnic origin (60%), gender identity (being transgender – 57%) or sexual orientation (54%).
The one exception is discrimination on the basis of religion or beliefs, which is now less likely to be seen as widespread (42%) compared to 2019 (less 5 percentage points).
Harassment
Around one in five respondents say they have personally felt discriminated against or experienced harassment in the past 12 months (+4 percentage point since 2019). The most mentioned forms of discrimination or harassment are based on age, gender, “political opinions”, “socio-economic situation” and “general physical appearance”.
LGBTIQ Rights
Around two-thirds of respondents approve of equal rights for lesbian, gay and bisexual people, and for transgender people.
More than seven in ten agree that there is nothing wrong with a sexual relationship between two persons of the same sex, and that marriage of same sex partners should be allowed throughout Europe. That represents an increase of 2% for sexual relationships and of 3% for marriage, as compared with 2019.
62% (+3 pp) think transgender persons should be able to change their civil documents to match their inner gender identity.
47% (+1 pp) think that official documents should have a non-binary gender/sex option, for those persons who do not identify as male or female (against 46%, +4 pp).
More efforts for integration of Roma population are needed
Around a quarter of respondents think that the efforts made in their country for the integration of its Roma population are effective. Results vary widely at national level.
Some groups of candidates still at disadvantage in employment
When asked which criteria may put candidates at a disadvantage when a company is recruiting, respondents are most likely to mention the candidate’s age (52%) and their manner of dress or presentation (50%). The following criteria are each mentioned by at least a third: general physical apprearance (44%), disability (43%), being Roma (42%), skin colour (39%), accent (35%) and ethnic origin (34%).
