Hungary
The Hungarian government fails to respect the rule of law and human rights. Civil society organizations face legislative restrictions, while rights defenders and independent journalists are smeared by pro-government media. Academic freedom has been curbed and a top university forced out of the country. Government officials continue to engage in anti-migrant and xenophobic rhetoric including through publicly funded campaigns. Asylum seekers are detained and denied food in border camps despite several European court rulings ordering Hungarian authorities to resume food distribution. They face violence during police operations to force them back to the border, and limitations on meaningful access to asylum.

EducationThe Hungarian government has repeatedly issued rhetorical attacks on gender equality, claiming that so called “gender ideology” undermines “traditional family values,” promotes illegal migration, and encourages homosexuality. These rhetorical attacks have taken shape in a series of policies that undermine the rights of women and girls, including and in several aspects particularly those of lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LBT) women and girls.
