  Spain has two law-making levels: the State and the Autonomous Communities. Spain recognises certain legislative autonomy in its Autonomous Communities for the execution of legislation but anti-discrimination legislation is an exclusive task of the State. According to Article 81 of the Spanish Constitution, anti-discrimination legislation must be approved by the Spanish Parliament and requires organic law, which means that it has to be approved by a qualified majority of the Parliament (absolute majority of the Parliament). However, some Autonomous Communities have equality strategies or plans that serve the objective of promoting the equality of women and men at the local level (Andalusia, Galicia, Castile and León, Asturias, Canary Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Chartered Community of Navarre, Basque Country and Catalonia). Most of the Autonomous Communities have specific regulations for the prevention of gender violence and for the care of victims of gender violence (Aragón, Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha, Castile and León, Valencian Community, Madrid, Extremadura, Galicia, La Rioja and the Chartered Community of Navarre). Moreover, some Autonomous Communities establish benefits such as subsidies for the employment of women, for childcare etc. Residences for the elderly and small children are also supported, in whole or in part, by the Autonomous Communities. The scope of these subsidies is different in each Autonomous Community. Some municipalities also invest in measures for equality between men and women, for example by means of childcare services, training workshops for women, etc.

  Second survey on discrimination and hate crime against Jews in the EU Member States
  Technical report

  FRA’s second survey on discrimination and hate crime against Jews in EU Member States surveyed over 16 000 self-identified Jewish respondents in 12 EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

  FRA’s second survey on discrimination and hate crime against Jews in EU Member States surveyed over 16 000 self-identified Jewish respondents in 12 EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. This technical report presents a detailed overview of the survey methodology used by FRA when collecting the survey data. The survey provides comparable data on the perceived extent and nature of antisemitism across a number of selected EU Member States, whether it is manifested as hate crime, hate speech, discrimination or in any other form that undermines Jewish people’s feelings of safety and security. The survey collected data through an open (opt-in) online survey, which was open for respondents to complete for 7 weeks in May and June 2018. The survey was designed to be accessible to all eligible participants, i.e. those self-identifying as Jews — based on religion, culture, upbringing, ethnicity, parentage or any other reason — aged 16 or over and resident in one of the survey countries. The questionnaire could be accessed via an open web link that was publicised on the FRA website, via Jewish organisations, Jewish media outlets and social networks. The content of FRA’s second survey on discrimination and hate crime against Jews builds strongly on the experience and methodology developed for the first, 2012 FRA survey on discrimination and hate crime against Jews (which covered eight EU Member States) and on stakeholder and expert consultation carried out in spring 2017.
