hate crime and their effects

But what exactly does it mean to be a victim of hate crime? The LSVD informs that such attacks often not only affect individuals, but also directed against entire groups. LSBTIQ*people in particular are often at risk in public space, and visible identities can motivate violent offenders to commit attacks. Such deeds that often happen in the shade of prejudices and intolerance restrict the freedom of those affected.

According to statistics, the number of attacks on LSBTIQ*has increased alarmingly in recent years. In 2023, over 1,700 such crimes were registered. It is particularly questionable that many affected people often do not file a complaint for fear, which makes the number of unreported cases estimate up to 90%. The LSVD therefore calls for comprehensive measures to combat queer anti -queer violence as well as a better understanding and sensitization on the part of the police and judiciary.

The events in Bremen are strongly reminiscent of the fact that the fight against discrimination and hate crimes is anything but won. It is a call to solidarity and measures that ensure safe and inclusive society for everyone.
