We’re here to support you
If you’ve been a victim of hate crime because of your race or religion, we can help.
What is racism?
Racism is where someone treats another person differently because their skin colour is not the same as theirs, they speak a different language or have different religious beliefs. Racism can be most simply understood as someone behaving differently to another person based on the colour of their skin or culture.
Some people are picked on because they look different or speak a different language.
Some people wear certain styles of clothing because of their religion and may get bullied because of this.
Racism includes picking on people who are from a different country too.
Racism is felt by lots of different groups. For example, Jewish people have been persecuted – this is called anti-Semitism.
What about religion?
It’s often difficult to tell whether people are being attacked because of their race or their faith, because these are so closely connected.
