Discrimination reports to the Central Netherlands police increased by 25

Most reports from the province of Utrecht came from the city of Utrecht. Many reports were about origin and skin color, but part is also corona-related. According to Art. 1, the national center of expertise on discrimination, these figures are just the tip of the iceberg. That is why reporting is important, says Michel Aben of Art. 1 Central Netherlands. “Suppose only seven reports are made on the basis of origin and there are seventy, then that makes a difference to policymakers and researchers.”
