Discrimination in Croatia is still a prominent phenomenon and more and more people feel as if they cannot exercise their human rights, reports the Croatian portal Danas. It is alarming that most do not report it, and even fewer initiate legal proceedings. This is shown by the ombudsman's research, in which the Roma are still at the top of discrimination. Most people associate the Roma community with these scenes. Prejudices are on the rise. Since the majority of Roma do not want to work and live on social assistance, more than 50 percent of Croats have this perception. The Roma are the ones who most often face discrimination in Croatia. 18 percent of respondents think so. In second place are members of the LGBT community with about 16 percent, almost 10 percent of people with disabilities, and in fourth place are women, according to 9 percent of respondents. And mostly in the field of work and employment. The number of those who were discriminated rose to 28 percent, and it is worrying that the majority do not report it and do not initiate legal proceedings.
