Let’s Stand Together Against Hate

Hate crime can have a devastating effect on someone’s life; acts of violence or hostility directed at people because of who they are or who someone thinks they are, based on characteristics like disability, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, or belonging to an alternative sub-culture.

Greater Manchester is a place where we all look out for each other, stick up for one another and stand together. It’s a place where everyone is free to be themselves. Hate crime has no place here.

We all have a right to live without fear and intimidation from others because of who we are. If you’ve been the victim of a hate crime, or witnessed one, please join us in taking a stand against hate by reporting it.
