A New Tool to Combat Violent Antisemitism, Racism, and Other Forms of Intolerance
On September 13, Human Rights First released its new book, Everyday Fears: A Survey of Violent Hate Crimes in Europe and North America, at a launch event at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s New York Tolerance Center in Manhattan. The book reveals the disturbing reality of people living under daily threat because of the color of their skin, their real or perceived origins, their religion, sexual orientation, or disability.
Everyday Fears documents, among other things, a rise in violent antisemitism in Europe, including a disturbing increase in the proportion of hate crimes targeting people, as opposed to those involving only property. It highlights the proliferation of anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim polemic accompanied by violence against individuals and community institutions.
An essential tool for the fight against racism, antisemitism, and other forms of intolerance, Everyday Fears presents the first in-depth analysis of hate crimes in 55 countries, from Vancouver to Vladivostok. It provides a critical evaluation of legislation and means of data collection on hate crimes in each country and an appendix of fundamental documents for the fight against discrimination.
