[Event] Reporting Racism: Know Your Rights (July 22)

Most racist attacks go unreported, many people don’t know what they can do after they’ve been attacked. That means racist incidents are not acknowledged or addressed in our society and those subjected to the abuse do not know who they can turn to for help. We have brought together a panel of key speakers to discuss how to report racism, why you need to report it and which organisations can provide support. Details: Date: Wednesday 22 July 2020 Time: 12 – 1:30pm (AEST) RSVP: Click to register now.
