In 2020/21, there were 830 Islamophobic hate crimes recorded in London, 293 fewer than in the previous year (Statistica Research Department). Although there has been progress, we still need to lower this number.

We need to prevent online harms from reaching our children as the internet has become increasingly more accessible to our youth.

ActionAid states that more than 250 million women alive today were married before their 15th birthday. We need to put an end to this.

Muslims may suffer from #discrimination, stigmatisation and exclusion in all areas of life such as employment, education, services and political participation. Racist violence and speech, especially on the internet, plays a large role in this too.

In light of International Day for #Tolerance, it is important to remember that despite our differences, we should work together to embrace #diversity and support those whose voices are ignored.

#FGM has many names such as: female circumcison, tahur, cutting, halalays, gudniin, khitan, megrez, sunna. Knowing these names can help us become more aware of when FGM might be occurring.

#ForcedMarriage makes women and young girls more vulnerable to physical, emotional, and financial abuse. This has devastating consequences for the wellbeing and happiness of young girls around the world.
