| Qualitative Info |
In ZARA’s Racism Report 2010, incidents relating to housing are subsumed under the heading “goods and services”. The cases published in the report include 14 housing-related incidents. Helping Hands Graz documented 389 racist incidents in its annual report 2010, 24 per cent of which concerned housing. Even though discriminatory housing advertisements remained a problem, ZARA reports on increased awareness of housing platforms and media to swiftly remove respective ads. Since March 2011 discriminatory housing advertisements are legally prohibited. Besides discriminatory advertisements, incidents reported to both NGOs encompassed discriminatory allocation practices and racist harassment by neighbours.
