21st Anniversary 2
Young people urged to stand up to hatred
Britain’s young people can stand up to hatred and help create a safer, stronger society – inspired by the lessons of the Srebrenica genocide as the nation marks the 21st anniversary of the atrocity.
21: Coming of Age – Time to Act
This year is the 21st anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide and the United Kingdom’s Srebrenica Memorial Week runs from Sunday 10 July to Sunday 17 July 2016. Our theme to mark this milestone anniversary is ’21: Coming of age – time to act’.
Very pleased to highlight the importance of @SrebrenicaUK in Parliament yesterday and the forthcoming 25th commemoration. Thank you to Remembering Srebrenica ensuring we never forget.
UK Hate Crime:
1. REPORT it to STOP it. Dial 101 or, in an emergency, 999
2. THREE QUARTERS of Hate Crimes are racist, up 11% year on year.
3. Hate Crimes around religion increased by another 3%.
