Due to the rising number of anti-Christian hate crimes in Austria, a citizens' initiative from 2023 started a petition for a documentation office recording these cases. The findings of OIDAC Europe and the OSCE Hate Crime Data confirm the prevalence of anti-Christian hate crimes in Austria.
In 2022 the OSCE Hate Crime Reporting recorded 189 anti-Christian hate crimes in Austria, making Christians the most targeted religious group, followed by Muslims (184) and Jews (102).
