Hate Crime Awareness Week 2022
Hate Crime Awareness Week is a national week (9th October – 16th October 2021) of action to encourage local authorities, key partners and communities affected by hate crime to work together to tackle local hate crime issues.
The countywide Inclusive Communities Joint Coordinating Group, will utilise this week, Monday 10th October – Friday 14th October, to:
- Raise awareness on Hate Crime with a particular focus on misogyny;
- Increase the reporting of Hate Crimes; and
- Promote support services available to those who may suffer incidents of Hate Crime in North Yorkshire and the City of York
This is supported by the Safeguarding Adults Boards, Safeguarding Children Partnerships and Community Safety Partnerships.
Representatives from a number of organisations/partnership have met to build on previous year’s successful campaign in finalising proposals and plans for a coordinated social media campaign that makes use of and signposts to, existing resources.
