Government launches working group on Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia definition

A new working group has been established to provide government with a working definition of Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia.

The definition will provide guidance to government and other bodies to support further action on tackling religiously motivated hate, delivering on the Plan for Change safer streets mission.

With incidents of hate crime against Muslims at a record high in England and Wales, the group’s work will support wider and ongoing government-led efforts to tackle religiously motivated hate crime.
