RISE Projects in partnership with Haringey Council and MPS Haringey, organised as part of National Hate Crime Awareness Week, a community discussion on Hate Crime. The event was very well attended and many discussions occurred where members of the Somali community expressed their concerns about hate crime incidents in the borough. We organised this event with the view of improving the Somali community’s understanding of hate crime and improving the community’s knowledge base of reporting hate crime incidences. The event gave a platform for people to come together and to ask questions about hate crime in a safe community space and to speak to statutory agencies about their experiences and raise any concerns they may have about hate crime.
