A European Union human rights agency says racist attacks and legal obstacles are an increasing problem for the international community's ever-growing migrant population.
The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) report comes as EU leaders gathered in Bratislava to discuss possible reforms for the bloc.
Martina Huber, a co-author of the report, said they had documented a clear increase in the number of hate crimes being committed against migrant communities.
The report detailed Nazi graffiti in Austria, an increase of online racist comments on social networks in Bulgaria as well as the Hungarian government's desire to classify immigration as a threat to society.
In Germany, attacks against refugees occur daily, while incidents at asylum centres are recorded every three days, said the anti-racist Amadeu Antonio Foundation.
"Many cases go unreported," explained the FRA, "especially because the victims are afraid of the police."
It added that many refugees do not want to report the crime in fear that it may affect their asylum status, which can take a long-time to process.
Germany registered 31 injuries in 25 attacks against refugees or asylum centres in August alone.
