Highlight: Who is vulnerable?
People of African Descent, the descendants of the victims of the transatlantic slave trade or more recent migrants, frequently face racial discrimination and prejudice.
Discriminatory structures and institutions, legacies of the injustices of enslavement and colonialism result in people of African descent being among the poorest and most marginalized groups in society who also face alarmingly high rates of police violence, and racial profiling.
In addition to People of African Descent and the descendants of the victims of the transatlantic slave trade, racism directly impacts the lives of many other communities and groups, including:
• Indigenous Peoples,
• Roma, Sinti and Travelers,
• Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities,
• Migrants,
• Refugees, Asylum-seekers, and Internally Displaced People,
• People Living in Extreme Poverty,
• Women,
• LGBTQI+ People.
Victims of racial discrimination can also suffer from multiple, aggravated, compounded or intersecting forms of discrimination based on other related grounds, such as age, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, social origin, property, disability, birth, or other status.
Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia subject members of these religious communities to discrimination and violent movements based on racism and discriminatory ideas.
Women and girls face additional discrimination based on their gender, making them extra vulnerable.
