🚨 ISLAMOPHOBIA AWARENESS MONTH HAS BEGUN November marks the start of Islamophobia Awareness Month across Britain, a nationwide campaign highlighting anti-Muslim hatred, discrimination and prejudice — and celebrating the positive contributions Muslims make to society. This year's theme is “DON'T LET IT SLIDE” — urging people to speak out against Islamophobia rather than ignoring it or allowing it to become normalised. ⚠️ WHY IS IT NEEDED? Islamophobia remains a serious problem in Britain, affecting Muslims in schools, workplaces, public spaces and online. According to research cited by campaign supporters, a mosque is attacked approximately every five days in the UK. 📅 WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS MONTH? Throughout November, schools, universities, mosques, councils, trade unions and community organisations will be organising educational workshops, conferences, exhibitions and discussions. The campaign, first launched in 2012, aims to challenge stereotypes, amplify Muslim voices, encourage the reporting of hate crimes and promote greater understanding of Islam and Muslims. Organisers say the message is simple: Islamophobia is not just about what happens to Muslims, but also about what others allow to happen. 🔗 Find out more: islamophobia-awareness.org
