What were the main arguments used by both the AfD and the Berlin Senate, and how did the court address these arguments?

The AfD's request aimed to analyze potential links between names and suspects' migration backgrounds, a detail absent from police statistics that distinguished only between German and foreign nationalities. The Senate's additional concern about discrimination against German citizens with migration backgrounds was deemed irrelevant by the court, as it wasn't part of the initial rejection.

How does the intersection of race and gender affect experiences of discrimination in Germany, according to the report?

The rise in discrimination complaints highlights systemic issues in German society. Racism disproportionately affects migrants, particularly young people in schools lacking adequate support. Women, especially those of color or wearing traditional Muslim attire, face widespread harassment and discrimination in public spaces and the workplace, including biased treatment from medical professionals. This underscores the intersectional nature of discrimination, where race and gender compound negative experiences.
