Training for Civil Society on Addressing Religion-Related Hate Crime

Objectives

The training will equip participants with the practical skills to identify, record and report religion-related hate crime. In particular, the training will deepen participants’ understanding of such crimes, including the fact that victims may be targeted for multiple identity characteristics, such as gender, ethnicity and nationality.

Participants who successfully complete the course requirements will receive a certificate.
