BERLIN, GERMANY - JUNE 27: Germany recorded more than 8,000 discrimination cases last year with an increase of 14 per cent compared to 2021, according to a new report by the country’s top anti-discrimination agency. The country’s anti-discrimination commissioner, Ferda Ataman, held a press conference in capital Berlin and said the figures are alarming. Discrimination cases in 2022 doubled the numbers in 2019, Ataman said. Most of those complaints were filed by people who experienced discrimination or disadvantages due to their ethnic backgrounds. The Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency offers consultation to people who in their professional or private lives have experienced discrimination on grounds of their ethnic origin, religion, belief, sexual identity, age, a disability or their gender. Since 2019, the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency publishes annual reports about its activities. (Footage by Ömer Sercan Karkuş/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
