Discrimination against Christians is on the rise in Europe, according to the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe’s (OIDAC Europe) annual report.

The non-governmental organisation recently released its annual ‘Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe Report,’ which revealed that there were more than 2,400 anti-Christian hate crimes committed in 35 European countries in 2023, as reported by police forces and civil society, which included acts of violence, threat and harassment.

OIDAC’s report revealed that France, Germany and the UK were countries ‘of particular concern,’ with nearly 1,000 anti-Christian hate crimes reported in France last year, 700 in the UK and a 105% increase in Germany, seeing its number rise to 277.
