However, more than 2,300 cases, many involving state institutions, fall outside the AGG\u2019s scope. She criticized current protections, noting people are better shielded from discrimination in restaurants than in government offices, calling for the law\u2019s expansion to cover schools, police, and courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commissioner attributed the rise partly to increased awareness but warned reported cases represent only \u201cthe tip of the iceberg.\u201d She urged lawmakers to strengthen anti-discrimination laws and ensure consequences for discriminatory acts, stressing the need to confront far-right extremism decisively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent article on Anadolu Agency, the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency reported a record 11,405 complaints in 2024, the highest since its establishment.
