Reporting hate crime and seeking related support

Funded by the Department for Levelling Up Housing and Communities (DLUHC) through the Hong Kong BN(O) Welcome Programme, On Your Side is the service led by the independent charity Protection Approaches alongside a consortium of mainly East and Southeast Asian Community organisations. The service operates independently of the UK Government.

This is the place to find support and make a report if you experience or witness racism or any other form of hate. This could include verbal harassment in person or online, criminal damage such as graffiti, or physical violence perpetrated because of hostility against an aspect (or assumed aspect) of a person’s identity such as their race, gender, religion, disability, sexuality, or political beliefs.
