We all deserve to live in peace and feel safe in our communities. If someone is targeting us because of who we are, their punishment should reflect that, regardless of the crime committed. 

We want to live in communities that celebrate diversity and inclusion, where difference is tolerated and respected, not used to target people due to prejudice, hatred or fear. 

Being targeted because of who you are is deeply impactful and can have long term consequences for individuals and the wider community. 

 

We are deeply concerned hostility in our society toward different groups of people is on the rise. We want the law to give effective protection to all victims of hate crime. For many people UK law is not protecting them as it should, so we need to have lots of different ways to get justice for Disabled victims. 

Current UK Law does not treat victims of disability hate crime the same as other types of hate crime. Both the UK Law Commission and United Nations have both stated that our current hate crime laws need changing. 

It is time to get equal rights for victims of Disability Hate Crime. 

The UK Government needs to act, and we need your help to put the pressure on.
