Hate crime and harassment

Have you EVER suffered verbal abuse about your race or disability?

Has anyone EVER threatened you with violence as a response to your sexuality?

Has anyone EVER assaulted you because of your religion or beliefs?

If the answer is YES then you have been the victim of a hate crime. A hate crime is any behaviour that the victim or any other person thinks was caused by hatred of RACE, AGE, DISABILITY, RELIGION/BELIEFS, FAITH, SEXUALITY or GENDER IDENTITY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER IN SILENCE.

You are protected by law but we need to know it is happening so that we can help to put an end to it.

PLEASE REPORT IT - HELP US TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING

DON'T PUT UP WITH IT - NOT NOW, NOT EVER

• Hate crime creates fear in victims, groups and communities.
• It can happen at home, in the street, on the bus, at school, at college, at work ... ANYWHERE
• The person committing the crime might be a stranger, a friend, a relative ... ANYONE
• NO hate crime is too minor to report to the police
