Hate crime takes many different forms, it’s not only something that can cause physical harm, it can be verbal or online abuse, threats of violence, harassment, bulling, or intimidation.
The law protects everyone against prejudice or hostility that is directed towards them based on their disability, gender identity, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
It’s important that if you have seen or been the victim of hate or abuse, no matter how small you might think it is, that it is reported so that we can do something about it.
