Portugal
Portugal regularly reports information on hate crimes to ODIHR. The Ministry of Justice and the Prosecutor's Office collect data on hate crime.
In 2018, the Ministry of Justice, ODIHR and the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights co-organized a workshop to improve hate crime recording and data collection, based on ODIHR's Information Against Hate Crimes Toolkit (INFAHCT). The workshop resulted in a set of recommendations for relevant state authorities.

About 2018 Data
-
The number of cases recorded by the police refers to incidents in which the newly introduced marker "hate crimes" has been added in the recording process. The judiciary has data on the crimes of murder and grievous bodily harm aggravated by bias; however, these cannot be reported as their number does not exceed three.
