Gender-based hate crime
Gender-based hate crimes are criminal offences motivated by bias against a person's gender, which means that the offender selected her or his target based on the victim's gender, or demonstrated hostility towards it throughout the attack.
Hate crimes and incidents reported to ODIHR can be motivated by a single bias, in which the target was selected solely due to her or his sex or gender, or by multiple biases, in which bias based on sex intersects with another protected characteristic, such as disability, ethnic origin, race or religion. A number of the incidents reported to ODIHR also include those committed with bias by association against women's organizations, events and individuals.
