Xenophobia means Fear or hostility towards strangers or people perceived as strangers.
- The word comes from the Greek: xénos = "foreign" and phóbos = "Fear".
- This does not only mean fear, but also rejection or devaluation of people who, for example, have a different origin, skin colour, language, religion or culture.
- Xenophobia can manifest itself in everyday life through prejudice, discrimination or violence.
