Abstract

Xenophobia is most commonly defined as ‘fear of the stranger’. It can also be defined in a broader manner as “attitudes, prejudices and behavior that reject, exclude and often vilify persons, based on the perception that they are outsiders or foreigners to the community, society or national identity.” Xenophobia basically is presented as irrational hatred towards foreigners and all their values, customs and habits. Xenophobia develops revolt and hatred of everything that is foreign and unknown, and can be aimed at someone's faith, habits, anthropological or facial features and it is followed by hostile behavior, with a series of gestures, usually expressed through hate speech, hate crime, refusing foreigners to socially integrate in the new society, sharing xenophobic content in the media. This presentation aims to show the current developments when fighting xenophobia and hate crimes towards migrants and asylum seekers.
