Especially female victims – Anti -muslim racism rose in the election campaign

Date:

In August and September considerably more cases of anti -Muslim racism were reported than normal, which is probably due to the election campaign. There was also discrimination in connection with the conflict in the middle east.

The Antimuslim -Racism documentation center registered 1336 cases of racist attacks on Muslims or as such. That is slightly less than in the “record year” 2023 (1522). Three quarters of the attacks took place online.

In recent years, election campaigns had had an impact on the daily life of Muslims, said it in the report published on Tuesday. This consists of “offline cases” that are directly registered on the point and of online incidents that are registered as part of a systematic monitoring. However, a considerable number of non -reported cases can be adopted. “The purpose of our documentation is to make tendencies visible – because at least is too much,” said the documentary.

Unequal treatment and insults dominate offline
The analysis of offline cases shows that the most common complaint about insults (19.9 percent) and unequal treatment (19.4 percent). In particular, Muslim women described discriminatory experiences in the health system – for example, that they were reduced, devalued or not taken seriously according to their appearance. Muslim doctors also reported structural unequal treatment and a lack of recognition of their professional expertise.

13.3 percent of the cases were good for the distribution of hatred. These include, for example, hate messages that were specifically aimed at Muslim organizations, but also hate messages directly to the documentary – both increased. “The more visible the work anti -muslim racism becomes, how massant becomes the attacks,” said the documentary.

Other reasons for complaints were police violence (9.3 percent), dangerous threats (8.8 percent) as well as lubrication and vandalism (7.7 percent each). Almost three percent was due to physical attacks. An almost third (31.8 percent) of the documented incidents took place in public spaces, other frequent place offenses were jobs (11.8 percent) and educational institutions (10 percent).

Women have hit three times as often
Especially striking: more than three -quarters of the affected were feminine. “This trend is consistently clear in all survey years of the documentary Austria and illustrates: Antimuslim racism often has an effect on those affected by different interfaces of discrimination,” the conclusion.

Most perpetrators were individuals (63.2 percent), for ten percent of the reported discrimination, the police were responsible, followed by other organizations (7.4), journalists (7.1) and politicians (5.6). “Muslim communities are under multiple printing: in Addition to Structurally anchored Everyday Racism, People are also confronted with racist narrative relationship to global violence, genocides, wars and development of people’s are of theimes spectore of people’s are of the lore and and and and and and alles of theim of the lore and and and and and and alles. General, “Emphasized Chairwoman Rumeysa Accordance to the Base at a Press Conference on Tuesday.
