Human rights in Austria are generally respected by the government; however, there were problems in some areas. There were some reports of police abuse and use of unjustified force against prisoners. Antisemitic incidents, including physical attacks, name-calling, property damage, and threatening letters, telephone calls, and Internet postings occurred during the year. There was some governmental and societal discrimination against fathers, Muslims and members of unrecognized religious groups, particularly those considered "sects". There were incidents of neo-Nazi activity, rightwing extremism, and xenophobia. Trafficking in women and children for prostitution and labor also remained a problem.
The Austrian litigation association of NGOs against discrimination (de:Klagsverband) is an umbrella body with (at March 2024) 69 members. It offers member organisations legal advice and support in cases of discrimination based on gender, ethnicity or origin, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion and belief.
