To mark National Hate Crime Awareness Week 2017, we’re launching 2 new films which map the actions an Refugee-led Community Organisation (RCO) can take if a member of their community becomes a victim of hate. It takes into account the distinct reasons which deter many asylum seekers and refugees from involving the police.
Through interviews with the Victim support services, Police forces, Local Authorities and Police and Crime Commissioners for both Northumbria and Cleveland areas, the films explore routes to securing emotional and practical support to help someone recover from the impact of hate, whilst also highlighting the value anonymous reporting can have for promoting safety for the whole community.
The message is, if every RCO takes action on hate, they can make a difference for all.
