It is important to know what is a hate crime. When a hate crime is committed, one or more perpetrators target the victim, which can be one or more people or property, because of a protected aspect of the victim's identity, such as religion or ethnicity, race, sexual orientation or disability. Similarly, a hate incident is an act of hostility motivated by prejudice or bias that does not necessarily reach the threshold of a criminal offence, or the criminal nature of which is yet to be determined. A hate crime is any crime where the perpetrator is driven by prejudice or bias. Criminal offence + bias motive = hate crime.

The Hate Crime Victimization Survey Report provides the results from the second survey of hate crime victimization carried out in North Macedonia between June and July 2023 (following the first one in 2018). The Survey presents a comprehensive overview of the prevalence of hate crime on the basis of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and political beliefs, as perceived by the victims, as well as looks into underreporting of hate crimes. The survey comes four years after the adoption of the amendments to the Criminal Code, introducing “hate” as a qualified form of several crimes. The report aims to offer evidence to assist the development of effective measures that respond to and combat the phenomena, guide targeted policy and strategy by national and local authorities, and support civil society organizations in their advocacy work.
