Germany is facing a "discrimination crisis," according to Ferda Ataman, the country's Anti-Discrimination Commissioner.

The latest report reveals a significant rise in discrimination cases, with over 20,600 inquiries made between 2021 and 2023. Ataman highlights the inadequacy of current anti-discrimination laws, which fail to protect individuals from state-related discrimination and lack coverage in digital spaces.

The report calls for urgent reforms, including expanding protections and ensuring accessibility in all areas of life.

The findings underscore the impact of political dynamics on everyday discrimination, urging the government to fulfill its coalition agreement promises.
