About the event
People may be targeted in hate crime attacks because of multiple aspects of their identity. Their experiences of harm, access to justice and support needs may also vary depending on how these characteristics intersect.
To help address this challenge, ODIHR is developing practical guidance on applying an intersectional approach to hate crime and hate crime victim support. The guidance will help policymakers, criminal justice professionals and victim support providers better understand and respond to the experiences of victims affected by multiple forms of prejudice.
As part of this work, ODIHR is bringing together experts and practitioners from Central and Eastern Europe to explore how intersectionality can be better reflected in hate crime legislation, policies, data collection and victim support systems. The discussions will inform practical recommendations to strengthen institutional responses and ensure that victims receive support tailored to their individual circumstances.
The meeting forms part of ODIHR's partnership with the EEA and Norway Grants, which supports efforts to strengthen human rights, democracy and the rule of law across Europe. Through this partnership, ODIHR works with participating States and civil society partners to improve support for hate crime victims, promote survivor-centred approaches to combating trafficking in human beings, strengthen the rule of law and advance Roma and Sinti leadership and participation.
