Reporting racist and homophobic incidents

Hate crime such as racist, homophobic, religious or transphobic incidents should not happen, but they still do. Nobody should suffer because of who they are and nobody should put up with it. You can do something about it.
 

• If you, your family or friends are having problems because of your 'race' or skin colour, this is a racist incident.
  
• If you, your family or friends are having problems because of your sexuality, this is homophobia.

Some types of these incidents, such as verbal abuse and threats are obvious. Other examples, such as damage to your property, bullying or rude gestures are harder to identify. If you believe you have experienced a racist, religious, homophobic or transphobic incident, even if you have no proof, report it!
