Hallo
My Friend is working as a Nurse in Germany.
She is Facing a lot of racism from patients who say they dont want to be touched or exermined by black Person.
Its a Problem because some patients or employees Would Call her " HEY BLACK WOMAN" Instead of Calling her by her name.
She reported to the Emplpyer but they did nothing  but told her to be strong and ignore them.
Racism is torture and its difficult to ignore People keep harrasing you.

I was informed Germany doesnt have racism laws so it Would be difficult to fight in court.

Can someone advice how can she deal with racism in Germany?

Dear Pan123,

thank you for sharing your question with the wefugees community. I strongly disagree with you, I'm even shocked by your perception. There might be no Anti-rassism law in Germany due to the fact that it is stated already in our Constitution (Grundgesetz): 

Artikel 3 (3):

(3) Niemand darf wegen seines Geschlechtes, seiner Abstammung, seiner Rasse, seiner Sprache, seiner Heimat und Herkunft, seines Glaubens, seiner religiösen oder politischen Anschauungen benachteiligt oder bevorzugt werden. Niemand darf wegen seiner Behinderung benachteiligt werden

.... Nobody is supposed to be discriminated due to his sex, ancestry, race, language ....

Your friend can contact the "institution against discrimination of the german government": https://***.antidiskriminierungsstelle.de/

Unfortunetly, it's not my area of expertise, maybe another expert can give a more specific answer.

Greetings,
