Protection Approaches is the lead partner in a consortium of 15 organisations of national and community-based groups with expertise in hate crime reporting, hate crime prevention, and supporting East and Southeast Asian victims/survivors of racial violence.
Together we are working to design, develop and deliver On Your Side - a new UK-wide support and reporting service for East and Southeast Asian Community members who experience racism and/or other forms of hate. This new independently branded service will break down barriers to reporting and ensure that victims/survivors of hate crime from all East and Southeast Asian communities have access to the ongoing support that they need. It will capture incidents of hate such as identity-based violence and harassment, including their nature, range, and numbers, to underpin new measures to address such incidents through mitigation, prevention, and justice approaches.
The service, due to launch 9th August 2022 will include:
