Human rights in Croatia

Human rights in Croatia are defined by the Constitution of Croatia. Several human rights issues exist in the country, particularly around poverty, social welfare, and the prison system. Racial and sexual minorities face heightened discrimination.

There are numerous non-governmental organizations dealing with the issue in the country, as well as the Croatian Government's Office for Human Rights and several equality bodies, such as the Ombudsperson for Human Rights, Ombudsperson for Gender Equality, Children's Ombudsperson and the Disability Ombudsman. However, these institutions are underfunded, and their reports go ignored by the Croatian Parliament and Government.
