anti-Muslim hate has been under-recognised & under-reported. BMT exists to change that — by listening to communities, amplifying their voices, & working with partners to ensure that no one is left to face hate alone. We are here to stand with victims and help shape a more inclusive, united Britain.

Growing up with a Dad from India and a Mum from Cork, as a British Asian Irish Catholic, I very much recognise the era Akeela recalled. The p-word was used indiscriminately by racists in the '80s who didn't know or care about who was Muslim or Hindu, Sikh or Christian, or none of those.

I need to come on here more and share my thoughts

This manifests differently in different cultures/societies/countries with women and girls having varying rights depending where they are born but it is a common denominator. This bias against women and girls is a driving factor in why they are not believed when they report rape/
sexual violence.
