Did you know that many incidents of hate speech never get reported?
Across Europe, many people who experience hate speech or hate crime choose not to report it. Some believe nothing will change. Others do not know where to seek help or are unsure whether their experience is serious enough to report.
As a result, official statistics often tell only part of the story.
This is one reason why awareness matters. Understanding what hate speech looks like, knowing where support is available and recognising that such experiences should not be normalised are important steps towards safer and more inclusive communities.
