Hate crime strategy: easy read version

Aim 3

Communities are:

• stronger and more confident to take control of their lives and claim their rights

• safe
• inclusive - everyone can take part and have the same choices and chances

We want people to live in communities

where:

• they feel they belong
• they are treated equally and their human rights are protected
