The Flemish Region of Belgium saw a growing number of discrimination cases in the last decade. In 2009, 457 cases were reported in the region, whereas, in 2022, there were 658 registered cases.
However, discrimination crimes were not rising steadily over this period. For instance, the Flemish federal police registered a drop to 327 cases in 2013.
The eventuality of a certain number of cases not being reported remains, criminality numbers relying only on reported cases. Discrimination covers offenses based on racism and xenophobia, but also on the basis of one person's sexual orientation, gender, handicap, or religious beliefs.
