A new report has revealed that discrimination is a widespread issue that is affecting all areas of the Swedish society, with Muslims particularly more vulnerable.
The report titles “The state of discrimination 2023” was released Sweden’s Discrimination Ombudsman, Lars Arrhenius.
The report said that women wearing hijab are more likely to experience discrimination, and job applicants with names that sound Arabic or Islamic are also more likely to go through discrimination.
The Discrimination Ombudsman has warned that there is likely a large number of hidden cases of discrimination in Sweden, as not everyone who experiences discrimination reports it.
