Stop Asian Hate

During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City saw a sharp increase in harassment and violence against Asian people and communities, especially Asian elders. Discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, age, and disability, including having or (perceive) to be exposed to COVID-19, is illegal under the Human Rights Law. the start of the pandemic, there has been a significant, troubling increase in anti-Asian hate crimes and bias incidents. These have been verbal attacks, physical and even things like the tragic shooting of eight Asian-American spa technicians in Atlanta, Georgia. Beginning in February of 2020, we received a sevenfold increase in reports of anti-Asian harassment, discrimination, and violence. It is crucial to note that hate crimes and bias incidents have been found to be vastly under-reported these numbers reflect just a fraction. 

We all want to live in a world that is free from prejudice andeveryone has the right to be proud of who they are. Unfortunately, this is a pretty tough ask. We've joined forces with other establishments to bring you some resources of the movement of Stop Asian Hate, the aim is to an end to the rising tide of racism against east and south east asian(ESEA) people.

Since the pandemic, something has been made nasty in the media by comments from Donald Trump calling it "the China virus", and ESEA people all over the world have found that their lives have been turned upside down. In the wake of the tragic deaths in the US and several studies (reveal) the real increase of racism against this minority, the Stop Asian Hate movement started a conversation about what is going on. You can find out all about it on this website, and get resources and support to help you if you are dealing with the impacts racism.

Working towards a world where no racism exists is always important to us, and will always be something need to strive towards. The thing is, a lot of conversations around racism fail to distinguish between the multiple groups of people who are affected, and the issues (face) by ESEA people will be completely different to other people of colour. 

the growth of attacks and hate crimes still on the rise, we want to give you the tools to be able to understand the value and necessity of our voice, and how to stand up and fight back.
