IN HER OWN WORDS, THE ATTACK ON UK

ON HOW BREXIT CAUSES RACISM: ‘Another Brexit-related trend that threatens racial equality in the UK has been the growth in the acceptability of explicit racial, ethnic and religious intolerance.’ ON WHETHER BRIT AIN HAS BECOME A MORE RACIST PLACE FOLLOWING BREXIT: ‘I think the environment leading up to the referendum, during the referendum and after the referendum has made racial ethnicities more vulnerable to racial discrimination and intolerance.’

ON AUSTERITY: ‘Austerity measures have been disproportionately detrimental to racial and ethnic minority communities.’

ON TERRORISM: ‘In recent years, a series of terrorist attacks by individuals purporting to act in the name Islam have served as triggers for national panic regarding Britain’s security.’

ON LIFE CHANCES: ‘Race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability status and related categories all continue to determine the life chances and wellbeing of people in Britain in ways that are unacceptable and in many cases unlawful.’
