Victims of hate speech and hate crime are targeted due to their immutable and core identity characteristics, which are fundamental and unchangeable aspects of who they are. This targeting causes them to feel devalued, unwelcome, denigrated, and despised in society. The impact on victims can be profound, leaving them frightened, vulnerable, and suspicious, often experiencing one of the most traumatic events of their lives. Symptoms of severe trauma, such as depression, self-blame, a lack of confidence, and a profound sense of isolation, are common. Victims also face the fear of repeat victimization, with especially vulnerable groups\u2014such as older adults, children, and individuals with physical and mental disabilities\u2014experiencing heightened vulnerability. These experiences have serious and often long-lasting effects on the physical and mental health and well-being of victims, distinguishing hate crimes from other types of crime. Hate speech and hate crime fundamentally violate the victims\u2019 rights to dignity and equality (Policy Department for Citizens\u2019 Rights and Constitutional Affairs, European Parliament, 2020; European Union Fundamental Rights Agency, 2012; Okhai, 2018).<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_height=”1000px” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”25px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”12px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
