This week is National Hate Crime Awareness Week.

The week aims to bring people together, to stand with those affected by hate crime, to remember those we have lost, and support those who need our ongoing support.

Hate crimes are any crimes that are targeted at a person because of hostility or prejudice towards that person’s: disability, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation
or transgender identity.

More information about the week and what it stands for here.
