The 2025 monitoring report of the National Discrimination and Racism Monitor (NaDiRa) "Hidden patterns, visible consequences. Racism and discrimination in Germany" shows the uneven distribution of discriminatory experiences in German society: more than one in two people with a racially labelled identity (54%) stated that they had experienced discrimination at least once a month in 2024. Among people who are not racially labelled, the proportion is 32%. The report explores three key questions:
? How have racist attitudes developed in German society?
? What experiences do racially labelled people have in their everyday lives?
? What effects do experiences of discrimination have?
The results show that racist attitudes are widespread. People who are regularly discriminated against are more likely to suffer from psychological stress and report symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders. In addition, trust in state institutions is dwindling - especially among people with repeated experiences of discrimination.
