✊ I was attacked or threatened because of who I am — who do I report it to?

Direct answer

Violence, threats or damage motivated by origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability is a hate crime with higher penalties, and it is under-reported — which is why reporting matters. Landespolizei Liechtenstein — Anzeige (+423 236 71 11): say explicitly that you believe the motive was hate, and ask for it to be recorded as such. Verein für Menschenrechte in Liechtenstein (+423 230 22 33) — the equality body — supports victims, monitors how the police handle it and can take a discrimination case in parallel. Opferhilfestelle Liechtenstein (+423 236 73 60) offers free support, also if you decide not to report.

❓ Frequently asked

The police did not record the motive

Ask in writing for the motive to be added; involve Verein für Menschenrechte in Liechtenstein. Recording the bias motive matters for the charge and for statistics.

It was online

Hate speech online is prosecutable; save screenshots with URLs and report to the platform and the police (see the online-harassment page).

I do not want to report but need help

Opferhilfestelle Liechtenstein and community organisations support you without a report. Some countries have third-party reporting so the incident is counted anonymously.
