Estonia
Estonia reported hate crime data to ODIHR in 2009, 2016 and 2020. Data from 2019 are available here.
In 2017, Estonia implemented ODIHR's Training Against Hate Crime for Law Enforcement (TAHCLE) programme. In the same year, the Ministry of Justice, ODIHR and the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) co-organized a workshop on understanding and improving hate crime recording and data collection. The workshop was based on ODIHR's Information Against Hate Crimes Toolkit (INFAHCT), and resulted in a set of recommendations to relevant state authorities. Estonian authorities and civil society organizations took part in ODIHR's diagnostic workshop to assess and improve national structures for hate crime victim support in February 2022.
