A study on experiences of discrimination by children and the youth found that 34 % of respondents (n=337) have sometimes experienced some form of discrimination. The respondents (10–17-year-olds) were asked whether they have sometimes or often experienced name-calling, exclusion, unfriendly treatment, prejudice, violence or threats. Altogether 38 % of the respondents belonging to a minority group (n=148), including sexual minorities and disabled, had experienced some form of discrimination.
