Islamophobia Awareness Month: Time to Challenge Islamophobia

Wednesday, November 6, 2024 Online Event

Islamophobia is prevalent in the UK today, and over the past year has increased significantly due to local and global factors, including Islamophobic and racist riots in the UK, and conflict globally. It can come in the form of microaggressions to hate crimes, including stereotyping, bullying, verbal comments, discrimination, barriers to employment, inaccessible policies, harmful media portrayal, physical violence and in many other ways.

 

This November, Islamophobia Awareness Month, we’d like to highlight and raise awareness of what our Muslim colleagues, friends and family are facing on a daily basis and how to empathise, support and ally them so that we can create an inclusive workplace for all. 

This webinar is hosted by Courtney Wright, Senior Inclusion and Diversity Consultant at Inclusive Employers.

Courtney Wright joined the Inclusive Employers team in October 2021, from a Human Resources background, bringing practical experience of implementing diversity, inclusion, engagement and wellbeing initiatives in the charity sector.

She has worked closely with Employee Voice Groups and staff networks and champions the value that staff voice can have towards achieving inclusion and diversity aims. Courtney also has a specific interest in social mobility, LGBTQ+ inclusion, ethnicity, and intersectionality. Find out more about Courtney.
